Cilia

This higher magnification of cilia better reveals the microtubular structure of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of an outer cylinder formed by nine doublets of microtubules. These microtubules originate from the basal body. At the center of the axoneme is a pair of individual microtubules. The interactions between all of these tubules produce the whip-like motion of the cilium. 20,000x
