| Method |
"Approximately 0.4 cc. of Gonyaulax culture was pipetted into a lucite well-slide. The well was circular, with a flat bottom and vertical sides, its dimension being 8.0 mm. in diameter by 1.5 mm. deep. A coverslip was placed over the well. It was then scanned, photographed and discarded. Fifty individual pathways were recorded from such preparations and measured as described above." |
| Comments |
"From these preparations a mean linear velocity of 250µm/sec. (with a range from 175µm/sec. to 325µm/sec.) was obtained for the Gonyaulax cell at 20°C." |
