Serial tomography of embryonic ciliary ganglion spine mat

Images of desmosomes from conventional EM and freeze fracture preparations show transmembrane filaments that link two hemidesmosomes. Upper: section of a cell boundary in the ciliary epithelium of th...

Representative examples of gap junctions from vertebrates (ciliary epithelium from the eye of a Macaca mulatta, upper) and invertebrates (inverted gap junctions from cells of the mid-gut of the horses...

A high resolution cross section of a Coleps cilium showing the axoneme consisting of 9 doublet and 2 central microtubules. Doublets have a complete A subfiber and an attached B subfiber. Two dynein ar...

Gap junctions in ciliary epithelium under conditions of oxygenation (upper) and anoxia (lower), in tissue prepared by ultrarapid freezing using liquid helium. Under oxygenated conditions, the connexo...

Five rows of clavate cilia that reside just below the anterior ciliary girdle of Didinium nasutum. This micrograph also shows a partial view of the pectinelle rows of the anterior girdle of cilia. The...

High resolution view of an oblique section shows the transverse aspect of basal bodies/cilia within one pectinelle of one of the two ciliary girdles of Didinium. Two ribbons of microtubules and a shor...

An oblique section shows the transverse aspect of basal bodies/cilia within one pectinelle of one of the two ciliary girdles of Didinium. Two ribbons of microtubules and a short kinetodesmal fiber ari...

This is a live image of the bdelloid rotifer Philodina roseola under 20x magnification. Bdelloid rotifers are microscopic freshwater invertebrates best known for their capacity to undergo frequent cyc...

The largest accumulation of endosomal vesicles and early endosomes is next to the buccal cavity area under the membranelles of the peniculi and quadrulus. Cilia of the peniculi have a very close packi...
