The anterior end of Euplotes tilts upward and contains triplet rows of cilia which are elements of the AZM. Ridges between the membranelles of the AZM contain mitochondria and electron transparent vesicles, with or without electron opaque granules, lie below the membranelles. The cytosol at the dorsal surface of the cell has a compact layer of mitochondria. EM taken on 7/29/67 by R. Allen with Philips 200 TEM. Neg. 1,800X. Bar = 5µm.
