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 high resolution cross section showing only one basal body in two different dikinetids. Cross sections of overlapping microtubular ribbons arising from the dikinetids are seen in the ridges next to t...

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...

A layer of mucocysts is docked under the pellicle. The pellicle has a plasma membrane and an alveolar sac system. Both basal bodies of a dikinetid are ciliated, and the food vacuoles are plentiful and...

This micrograph shows the striated kinetodesmal fiber extending to the pellicle from the basal body where it terminates against the epiplasm. A bundle of microtubules extends into the cell’s cytosol...

A high resolution image of a layer of mucocysts docked under the pellicle. The pellicle has a plasma membrane and an alveolar sac system. Both basal bodies of a dikinetid are ciliated, and the food va...

An image of the base of a dikinetid deeper in the cell. A postciliary ribbon and other microtubules fan out from it's basal bodies. TEM taken on 6/3/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 operating at 60kV. ...

A high resolution image of a dikinetid in cross section near its proximal end. A postciliary ribbon and a transverse ribbon are seen. A short kinetodesmal fiber buds from the side of the kinetid. Coat...

A high resolution micrograph showing the striated kinetodesmal fiber extending to the pellicle from the basal body where it terminates against the epiplasm. A bundle of microtubules extends into the c...

Cilia arise out of shallow depressions in the cell surface. Accessory microtubules, the transverse microtubules and postciliary microtubules splay out from the sides of the basal bodies of a dikinetid...
