CIL:13108, Paramecium multimicronucleatum, cell by organism, eukaryotic cell, Eukaryotic Protist, Ciliated Protist. In Cell Image Library

A high magnification view of the tubulated CV membrane attached to ampullae 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the CVC. The tubules lie against the ribbon of microtubules as well as form a large mat lying inward (centrifically) from the ribbons. These tubular CV membranes are part of the smooth spongiome. TEM taken on 2/26/80 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A operating at 75kV. Neg. 22,500X. Bar = 0.2µm. The negative was printed to paper and the image was scanned to Photoshop. This digitized image is available for qualitative analysis. An unprocessed, high resolution version of this image (CIL:12996) is in the library and available for quantitative analysis. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alcohol and embedded in an epoxy resin. Microtome sections prepared at approximately 75nm thickness.
