Microscopic investigation of Rhabdomonas costata. Cells in DIC contrast (A) with visible pellicular stripes and paramylon grains. SEM microscopy (B) of a cell showing surface invaginations and a flagellum inserted in the flagellar pocket. Longitudinal (C) and transverse (D) TEM sections and details of the pellicle and mitochondria (E), nucleus (F), and flagellar pocket with two flagella (G). Ax—axoneme, Gb—Golgi body, Fl—flagella, Fp—flagellar pocket, Mt—mitochondrial cross-sections, Mtb—subpellicular microtubules, Nu—nucleus, Ncl—nucleolus, Par—holes after paramylon grain, Pe—pellicle.
