Cross sections of striated bands (sb) and infraciliary lattice
arms (il). Filaments of the striated bands are less densely
packed than the infraciliary lattice. Kinetodesmal fibers (kd)
and postciliary microtubules (pc mt) are also cross sectioned
and are seen to come to lie near each other in the lateral ridges. A
linkage would provide additional strength to the kineties. The
observer is looking at a cross section of the cell from the posterior
toward the anterior of the cell. EM taken on 6/28/69 by R. Allen with
Philips 300 TEM. Neg. 36,500X. Bar = 0.1µm.
