arms
Description:
Dimorpha (die-morph-a), the genus contains helioflagellates in which there are two flagella and in which the axonemes terminate on a microtubule organizing centre located near the front of the cell. Normally the arms do not branch and nor do they have strongly developed extrusomes, so this organism is identified only tentatively to this genus. This taxon may produce arm-less swimming cells, illustrated in another image. Phase contrast.
