SYNOPSIS. Freeze‐etch preparations of Toxoplasma gondii reveal details of structure and organelles in 3‐dimensional relationships. The subpellicular microtubules and their relationship to the polar ring, the tripartite pellicle, the pellicle constituents, and the spatial relationship of the rhoptries to the conoid and conoid canal are clearly demarcated.
