Ramón y Cajal'sHistol. x. 148These cilia 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. 46The 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.

1968 P. M. Hirsch et al. Digital Holograms & Kinoforms in IBM Technical Symposium on LaserApplic. , Sept. 1968 (typescript) 244Our 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 IBMJrnl. Res. &Devel. XIII. 150/1The 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.
Ibid. 151/2Unlike 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. 493/1Kinoforms, 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.
Ibid. 495/2Kinoforms can be used as arbitrarily shaped phase plates in lens applications.
1894 Jrnl. R.Microsc. Soc. 581Prof. 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.
1910 G. N. Calkins Protozoöl. i. 29Some ..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. [ observers]
1934 L. W. Sharp Introd. Cytol. (ed. 3) ii. 45It 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 PlantAnat. (ed. 2) iii. 57The old concept of the existence of a special kind of active, fibrous cytoplasm, the kinoplasm.
1900 E. B. Wilson Cell (ed. 2) vi. 322Beyond 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.
1905 Rep. Brit. Assoc. Adv. Sci. 577Strasburger considers them as kinoplasmic in nature, and thus brings them into relation with his other kinoplasmic structures, the centrosome and spindle. [ sc. blepharoplasts]
