  Scanning electron micrograph of the head of the wild-type (N2) adult showing the six sensory papillae surrounding the buccal cavity. The pores in the lateral papillae are the termini of the amphid channels. Several E. coli hang from the lips. Magnification, 8400X. (Reprinted, with permission, from Albert et al. 1981.)
