Didinium intiates capture of Paramecium. Believe-it-or-not, this Didinium may accomplish the ingestion of the Paramecium in less than one minute. See other images in the link below. Also showing metac...

Didinium ingests Paramecium. Note that Paramecium is folded in half as it is compressed and enters the waiting food vacuole. This micrograph also shows a few discharged Paramecium trichocysts as well ...

A view of the left side of Conchophthirus curtus deciliated by a calcium shock method to reveal the organization of the ciliature of this densely ciliated organism. In particular this method reveals t...

Phosphorus has a characteristic electron energy loss with an edge at 160 eV. The Zeiss 902 electron microscope permits images to be recorded at different energy losses which can be digitized and proce...

High resolution image of quick-freeze deep-etch rotary-shadowed replica of an early endosome with two clathrin-coated evaginations. Presumably these coated pits contain receptors for cargo that will b...

High resolution view of an early endosome with at least two coated evaginations showing, lies next to the proximal end of a fractured basal body. Other clathrin cages may indicate other evaginations f...

Rabbit skeletal muscle fibers were minced in an ATP-containing relaxing buffer and dissociated into thick and thin filaments by mild blending. The isolated filaments were then deposited onto mica fla...

Didinium attacks Paramecium. Also showing many discharged trichocysts and metachronous waves of cilia in the two characteristic ciliary girdles of Didinium nasutum and on Paramecium. A series of captu...
