Microscopy from Scientific Research

Scanning electron microscopy image. The anterior end of the cell exposes the two flagella emanating from the flagellar pocket (left), the cytopharynx (right), and the conspicuous lip-like papillum between these two openings. Measurements taken from this image (using the ImageJ software): cell length > 10.5 m (the exact size cannot be measured from this image because the cell does not lie flat); cell width ~ 5.9 m; flagella length 6.5 m; and cytostome width 0.31 m.
