The cilia of a membranelle of the AZM (adoral zone of membranelles) have well defined doublets, singlets and dynein arms as well as spokes. Euplotes has a plasma membrane which covers a very flat and ...

Figure 423 from Chapter 16 (Cytoplasmic matrix and cytoskeleton) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Longitudinal section of the manchette of a rodent spermatid. The microtubules end in a ...

A view of microtubular ribbons in which the periodic structure of the tubulin units can be seen along the length of the microtubules. Short bridges link the microtubules side to side within a ribbon. ...

Figures 323 & 324 from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The outer segments of the rods and cones of the vertebrate retina and many photoreceptors of invertebrates b...

A figure from Chapter 13 (Cilia and Flagella) of 'The Cell' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The microtubules of the axoneme are adequately preserved by routine fixation for electron microscopy of thin sections...

Isolated microtubules and kinesin spontaneously self-organize in vitro creating assemblies that resemble bundles of cilia that undergo synchronous beating. The major components are fluorescent taxol-s...

High resolution image of an isolated and longitudinally fractured cilium exposing the middle of the cilium. The spokes extend from the doublets toward the two singlet microtubules. These spokes are sp...

A segment of the edge of the axoneme showing the outer axonemal dynein arms that extend from the A-subfiber of a doublet to bind to the B subfiber of the adjacent doublet. TEM taken on 4/21/88 by C. S...

Figures 404 (upper panels A, B), 405 (middle) and 406 (lower) from Chapter 16 (Cytoplasmic matrix and cytoskeleton) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Microtubules and pigment granule tran...

An isolated and longitudinally fractured cilium exposing the middle of the cilium. The spokes extend from the doublets toward the two singlet microtubules. These spokes are spaced unevenly so they app...
