Description

The cytopharyngeal ribbons of microtubules tend to curve into a “C” shape away from the cytopharynx but they still remain connected as a ribbon and are heavily labeled by immunogold when exposed to anti-b-tubulin. TEM taken on 2/27/94 by R. Allen with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 9,780X. Bar = 0.5µm.
