SEM and TEM observation of Proteocephalus sp. surface before (A,B,D) and after (C,E,F) Triton X-100 desorption. (A,B) SEM view of arrangement of filamentous microtriches on strobila surface. (C) SEM view of smooth surface of strobila. (D) TEM view of the tegument showing distal syncytial cytoplasm covered with microtriches and supported by basal lamina and fibrillar extracellular layer. (E) SEM view of the surface losing distal syncytial cytoplasm, note places of the connection of distal cytoplasm with sunken perikarya. (F) TEM of a portion of the tegument losing distal cytoplasm with microtriches, note basal lamina with fibrillar extracellular layer along the border of the tapeworm. bl, basal lamina; cb, cylindrical base of microtriches; dc, distal syncytial cytoplasm; ds, distal shaft of microtiches; em, extracellular matrix; fm, filamentous microtriches; mf, muscle fibers; p, pores; sm, spiniform microtriches; ss, smooth surface.
