Gregory Antipa (San Francisco State University) (2012) CIL:39230, uncultured scuticociliate, Conchophthirus curtus, cell by organism, eukaryotic cell, Eukaryotic Protist, Ciliated Protist. CIL. Dataset

A glancing view of the thigmotactic ciliature of Conchophthirus reveals details of cortical structure. CIL:39231 is a near serial section. Both exhibit the characteristic zig-zag kinetal arrangement of the diplokinities found in the thigmotactic ciliature of conchophthirids. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and the alveolar membranes that reside immediately below the surface; fibrillar and microtubular structures that support this ciliated cell, and in the case of Conchophthirus, the cortical mitochondria that may represent a single mitochondrion that has finger-like extensions that lie immediately between the rows of basal bodies and are independent of more typical vesicular mitochondria that reside in the inner cytoplasm. The negative magnification is 13,000X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750 Pro. This image is best used for quantitative analysis. For greater detail see:Antipa, G. A. 1971.

对Conchophthirus的触手趋性纤毛的初步观察揭示了皮质结构的细节。CIL:39231为近乎连续的切片。两者均展现出在触手趋性纤毛中发现的二倍体纤毛的典型之字形动基粒排列。这包括细胞膜及位于表面的下方之肺泡膜的性质；支撑该纤毛细胞的纤维状和微管状结构，以及Conchophthirus中的皮质线粒体，可能代表一个具有指状突起的单一线粒体，这些突起位于基体排之间，且独立于位于细胞内质中的更为典型的泡状线粒体。负放大倍数为13,000倍。原始胶片使用Epson Perfection V750 Pro扫描。此图像适用于定量分析。欲获取更多细节，请参阅：Antipa, G.
