High resolution image of the buccal cavity of Halteria has oral ciliature on its left side and a paroral kinety consisting of only one row of basal bodies and cilia on its right side. A cytopharynx with microtubular lamellae arises to the right of the paroral kinety where it will continue deep into the cell as a cytopharyngeal tube accompanied by the microtubular lamellae. A thick layer of microtubules covers one side of the buccal cavity. Mitochondria are both expanded and condensed). TEM taken on 3/12/71 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A operating at 75kV. Neg. 9,250X. The raw film was scanned with a Nikon Coolscan 9000ED. This image is suitable 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.
