Richard Allen (University of Hawaii), C. Schroeder (2011) CIL:12064, Paramecium multimicronucleatum, cell by organism, eukaryotic cell, Eukaryotic Protist, Ciliated Protist. CIL. Dataset

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 spaced unevenly so they appear to be arranged into triplets. The fracture plane, while in general is longitudinal, exposes the singlets and outer doublets at different levels so various periodicities appear along these microtubules. The cilium may also be slightly twisted along its length. TEM taken on 2/15/88 by C. Schroeder with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 31,500X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750 Pro. This image is best used for quantitative analysis.

高分辨率图像展示了一根孤立且纵向断裂的纤毛，其暴露了纤毛的中部。辐条从双微管向两个单微管延伸。这些辐条分布不均，似乎排列成三联体。断裂面虽然总体上是纵向的，但暴露了单微管和外双微管于不同层次，因此在这些微管上呈现出不同的周期性。纤毛在其长度上也可能略有扭曲。该透射电子显微镜（TEM）图像由C. Schroeder于1988年2月15日使用Zeiss 10A在80kV下拍摄。负片放大倍数为31,500倍。原始胶片使用Epson Perfection V750 Pro扫描。此图像最适合进行定量分析。
