Fig.2 Movie of fluorescence images of an Ax2 cell with an extending protrusion. Cells had been stained with RH-795 10 minutes before quinine application. This dye binds to contractile vacuole membranes with high affinity. Note the highly fluorescent patch in the leading edge of the protrusion.
0.62 sec/frame, field width 30 micrometres.

Fig.6C Movie of fluorescence images of an mhc-null cell showing expulsion of a contractile vacuole. The cell had been stained with RH-795 10 minutes before quinine application. A patch of fluorescence persists on the cell membrane at the site of expulsion of one of the contractile vacuoles.

Fig.12 Movie of a locomoting slug cell in the absence of quinine. Slugs migrating on agar were dissociated into single cells in phosphate buffer by repeated passage through a 25G needle, and plated on a coverslip in such a way that the buffer formed a thin film of a depth just enough to cover the cells.
1.0 sec/frame, field width 17 micrometres.
Movies with higher time resolution (x2, Figs. 7A, 10A, 10B) and spatial resolution (x2, Fig. 12) are available at JCS Online. Here, movies with lower resolution are posted to reduce the time for downloading. Consent has been obtained from the publisher.
