Abstract
Scanning electron microscopic study of the pattern of ciliary coordination and the form of ciliary beat is now possible. Rapid fixation stops the ciliary activity instantaneously, and critical point drying avoids distortion of the cilia by surface tension forces. Such studies have been made on the ciliate Opalina with this new technique.Keywords
