stained nuclei

Description:

Coronympha (corr-o-nymph-a), a calonymphid flagellate which is a multinucleated trichomonad flagellate. All members of this group have multiple nuclei each with its own set of flagella. This genus has 8 or 16 karyomastigonts arranged in a single anterior circle. Each karyomastigont comprises three anterior flagella, a thick recurrent flagellum with an adherent proximal portion underlain by a cresta, an axostyle-pelta complex, and a drop-shaped parabasal close to the nucleus. The karyomastigonts have been stained in this fixed preparation
