Description: Opercularia is named for a ciliated flap (operculum) that is adoral to the opening to the oral region. However, this operculum is pulled back into the body when the myonemes are fully contracted as in this figure. The cilia bordering the operculum arise from the perioral kinetids. TEM taken on 6/13/69 by R. Allen with Philips 300 operating at 60kV. Neg. 4,270X. Bar = 1µm. A print of the negative was scanned and processed in Photoshop. This image is suitable for qualitative analysis. There is a high resolution version of this image in the library (CIL:39170) which is available for quantitative analysis.
