Richard Allen (University of Hawaii) (2011) CIL:36276, Vorticella convallaria, cell by organism, eukaryotic cell, Eukaryotic Protist, Ciliated Protist. CIL. Dataset

The contractile vacuole of V. convallaria empties into a convoluted chamber. This chamber is covered by the alveoli and plasma membrane of the pellicle and is open to the cell’s surface via the peristome which is in turn connected to the perioral opening in the contracted cell. This preCV chamber apparently harbors (cultures?) its own flora of bacteria. Ribbons of microtubules link the CV pore to the CV. TEM taken on 3/29/71 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A operating at 75kV. Neg. 11,250X. Bar = 0.5µm. The negative was printed to paper and the image was scanned to Photoshop. This digitized image is available for qualitative analysis. There is a high resolution version of this image in the library (CIL:39504) which is available for quantitative analysis. Additional information available at (http://www5.pbrc.hawaii.edu/allen/).

香豌豆属植物（V. convallaria）的收缩液泡排入一个卷曲的腔室。该腔室被薄膜的肺泡和质膜所覆盖，并通过口围与收缩细胞的口缘开口相连，口围进而与细胞表面的开口相接。显然，此预收缩液泡内孕育着（培养？）其自身的细菌群落。微管束将收缩液泡的孔隙与收缩液泡相连。此图像由R. Allen于1971年3月29日使用日立HU11A电子显微镜，在75kV的电压下拍摄。负片放大倍数为11,250倍。标尺长度为0.5微米。该负片被印在纸上，图像随后被扫描至Photoshop。此数字化图像可用于定性分析。该图像的高分辨率版本存放在图书馆中（CIL:39504），可供定量分析使用。更多详细信息请访问（http://www5.pbrc.hawaii.edu/allen/）。
