Stereocilia
A tubule from the male reproductive tract is lined by a pseudostratified epithelium with stereocilia. Stereocilia are long (greater than one micron), non-motile extensions of the apical plasma membrane that have the same internal structure as microvilli. Like microvilli, they contain a core of microfilaments. As seen here, tufts of stereocilia often appear flame-shaped. Epididymis 1000x
