tripartite hairs
Description:
This transmission electron micrograph of a whole mount cell shows the hairs associated with the flagellum. The hairs have three parts, a flimsy looking basal section that attaches to the flagellum, a long stiff section that then ends in fine hairs. This arrangement is synapomorphic for the stramenopiles.
