High resolution image. Basal bodies are supported by three fiber systems, a striated kinetodesmal fiber that arises from the proximal end of the basal body and curves upward and anteriorly within the ...

Basal bodies are supported by three fiber systems, a striated kinetodesmal fiber that arises from the proximal end of the basal body and curves upward and anteriorly within the longitudinal ridge to t...

Papillary muscle from cat heart shows a step-like end-to-end junction of two cardiac muscle cells. The longitudinally oriented lateral cell boundaries are straight and exhibit extensive gap junctions...

A high resolution image that shows a dikinetid which is set in a shallow basin in the cell surface. The pair of basal bodies have a proximal cartwheel and a dense septum (not found in most bbs) just d...

A more extensive freeze-fracture view of the membranelles on the left side of the buccal cavity. Fractures of eighty or more basal bodies can be counted in each of the dorsal three rows of the dorsal ...

High resolution image of Colpoda. A soil ciliate and this micrograph is characterized by numerous mucocysts and food vacuoles containing bacteria in various stages of digestion. This electron microgra...

Figs. 303 & 304 from Don Fawcett's Chapter 12 (Centrioles). In transverse section the cylindrical wall of the centriole is made up of nine longitudinally oriented triplet microtubules. A dense materia...

HeLa cells were accumulated in monopolar mitosis using a 12 hr treatment of the kinesin-5 inhibitor S-trityl-l-cysteine and forced into cytokinesis by adding the potent Cdk1 inhibitor purvalanol A for...

Paramecium caudatum is a peniculine oligohymenophoran ciliate that has numerous rows of cilia called kineties that run along the posterior to the anterior axis on the cell’s dorsal side but curve ar...

The three ciliary membranelles in the buccal cavity from which this class of ciliates gets its name, Oligohymenophorea, are each composed of four rows of basal body/cilium complexes. The quadrulus has...
