IMAGE 1: Group 3 Termites – Joenia sp. Note: The extended axostyle, attached spirochaetes on body surface, tuft of flagella on the anterior looking like a horses mane. It is very active propelling the Joenia in circles.
IMAGE 2: Joenia, Details of flagella plate area, nucleus and parabasal bodies.
IMAGE 3: Joenia – note axostyle filaments, (APO 1.4 NA oil)
IMAGE 4: Joenia – note nucleus, parabasal bodies and flagellar plate with very long basal bodies.
IMAGE 5: Trichonympha – Posterior end showing a “large” wood particle being ingested.
IMAGE 6: Trichonympha, Spirotrichonympha and pseudotrypanosoma sp. and numerous prokaryotes.
IMAGE 7: Trichonympha campanula, see images 6-7 from same subject.
IMAGE 8: Trichonympha anterior end showing flagella, basal bodies and flagella roots.
IMAGE 9: Trichonympha – same subject as image 6, focused on the dorsal surface, note the basal granules and ridges.
IMAGE 10: Detailed structure of flagella/spirochaete attachment in the cortex of Trichonympha sp.(x100 Apo 1.4 NA ).
IMAGE 11: Trichonympha sp, note the chromosomes in the nucleus and the flagella entering the cortex and possible kinetosomes.(x60 Apo NA1.35 oil objective)
IMAGE 12: Rostrum area of Trichonympha sp. (x100 UPlanSAPO 1.4 oil objective).
IMAGE 13: Pseudotrypanosoma giganteum – Note: large size, undulating membrane, many spirochaetes.
IMAGE 14: Pseudotrypanosoma sp – Note the undulating membrane is composed of a number of fibres of approx 0.26 of a micron.
IMAGE 15: Joenia sp –A different form with numerous attached spirochaetes.
