1933 M. Fernán-Núñez tr. S. Ramón y Cajal Histol. x. 148 These cilia [of ciliated epithelium] are completely free and carry out spontaneous vibratory and whip-like movements, both of flexion and extension in the greater number of cases (kinocilia); in other cases, as in the epididymis, they appear immobile (stereocilia).

1956 Acta Oto-Laryngol. Suppl. No. 126. 46 The kinocilium in each cell is closely consistent in structure with the kinocilia that have been observed in the trachea, the fallopian tube, and in a number of unicellular organisms.

1971 New Scientist 29 July 283/1 The kinocilium, an apparently active hair among the passive hairs of each hair cell on the basilar membrane of the ear.

1968 P. M. Hirsch et al. Digital Holograms & Kinoforms in IBM Technical Symposium on Laser Applic., Sept. 1968 (typescript) 244 Our efforts have been in making digital holograms and a new kind of imaging element, which we call a kinoform.

1969 L. B. Lesem et al. in IBM Jrnl. Res. & Devel. XIII. 150/1 The kinoform is a new, computer-generated wave~front reconstruction device which, like the hologram, provides the display of a three-dimensional image. In contrast, however, the illuminated kinoform yields a single diffraction order and, ideally, all the incident light is used to reconstruct this one image.

1969 L. B. Lesem et al. in IBM Jrnl. Res. & Devel. XIII. 151/2 Unlike the making of holograms, which can be physical recordings of actual wavefront interference patterns.., it does not appear possible to create a kinoform using completely optical techniques.

1970 Physics Bull. Nov. 493/1 Kinoforms, like digital holograms, are also made by calculating the wavefront scattered from the numerically defined object, but instead of adding in a reference beam, the amplitude of the scattered wavefront is assumed constant. A photographic plot of the phase distribution (mod 2π) is made, and translated into a phase plate.

1970 Physics Bull. Nov. 495/2 Kinoforms can be used as arbitrarily shaped phase plates in lens applications.

1894 Jrnl. Royal Microsc. Soc. 581 Prof. E. Strasburger concludes that in the cytoplasm two constituents are contrasted in their activity. To one of these, the kinoplasm, the radiations round the centro~spheres, the spindle-fibres, and the combining filaments..owe their origin... The other constituent..is the trophoplasm.

1896 E. B. Wilson Cell 108 Strasburger believes that the anterior cytoplasmic region, to which the cilia are attached, consists of ‘kinoplasm’ (archoplasm).

1901 C. N. Calkins Protozoa 274 Kinoplasm is fibrillar in structure and devoted to the formation of the active portions of the cell.

1905 H. Wager in Rep. Brit. Assoc. 567 Strasburger considers that the cytoplasm is of two kinds, which he calls kinoplasm and trophoplasm... The kinoplasm is that part of the cytoplasm which is active in the mechanics of cell-division and forms the fibres of the spindle, astral radiations, and such structures as centrosomes and blepharoplasts.

1910 G. N. Calkins Protozoöl. (U.K. ed.) i. 29 Some [observers]..have endeavored to show that archoplasm, or, in a larger sense, kinoplasm, is not only specific, but a kind of ‘superior’ protoplasm, self-perpetuating and distinct.

1934 L. W. Sharp Introd. Cytol. (ed. 3) ii. 45 It appears to be the kinoplasm that is responsible for protoplasmic streaming; it flows through the relatively stationary trophoplasm, carrying with it the plastids and chondriosomes.

1965 K. Esau Plant Anat. (ed. 2) iii. 57 The old concept of the existence of a special kind of active, fibrous cytoplasm, the kinoplasm.

1900 E. B. Wilson Cell (ed. 2) vi. 322 Beyond this the two forms of protoplasm show a difference of staining-reaction, the kinoplasmic fibrillæ staining deeply with gentian-violet and iron-hæmatoxylin, while the trophoplasm is but slightly stained.

1902 E. B. Wilson Cell (ed. 2) 322 The kinoplasmic or archoplasmic fibrillæ of the mitotic figure.

1905 Rep. Brit. Assoc. Advancem. Sci. 577 Strasburger considers them [sc. blepharoplasts] as kinoplasmic in nature, and thus brings them into relation with his other kinoplasmic structures, the centrosome and spindle.

1927 Protoplasma II. 201 The kinoplasmic spheres from which the contractile vacuoles arise in Spirogyra.
