False colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) showing cross sectioned cilia of the trachea respiratory epithelium. The ciliated cells of the trachea epithelium have both cilia (green) and microvilli (red). The cilia are thicker and have a 9+2 axoneme. The microvilli are thinner and more abundant.
