Figure legend
FIGURE 2 Part of a longitudinal section of a flagellar rootlet with two associated basal bodies . Also visible is a triangular, banded, interbasal body linker (L) and an obliquely sectioned palisade of microtubules ( P), both of which are thought to be significant in holding the rootlet-basal body complex together. Bar, 0.2 um. x 55,000.
Figure notes
The flagelar rootlet is very similar to what is called rhizoplast in other articles. The obliquely sectioned palisade of microtubules is very similar to what is called as connecting filaments in other articles
