blunt-tipped sensillum [FBbt_00005192]

Sensillum of the coeloconic type that does not have a pore. It is 2 micrometers long and 1.7 micrometers wide at the base, tapering towards the tip. A pore-like structure at the distal end is plugged by electron-dense material. At the very tip, the sensillum is covered by a similar electron-dense structure. The outer cuticular surface is smooth. Internally, the cuticle has a spongy appearance. There is a single central lumen that terminates below the electron-dense layer.
