The organization of the heliozoon Actinophrys sol is described using light-microscopy, transmission and scanning electron-microscopy, freeze fracturing and X-ray microanalysis. The features of the trophic organism and its organelles are described in detail. The processes of encystment, autogamy and excystment are outlined. Encystment involves the production of siliceous scales which are destined to become one layer of a resting cyst with a multilayered cyst wall. Autogamy occurs before the resting cyst is formed. Cytoplasmic peculiarities of the trophic organism are almost entirely absent from the resting cyst but reappear upon excystment. The structural characteristics are used to assess the affinities of Actinophrys with other actinophryids, heliozoons, actinopods and sarcodina. It is concluded that the justification of the conventional classification of Heliozoa is questionable.
利用光学显微镜、透射电子显微镜和扫描电子显微镜、冷冻断裂和X射线微分析技术，对太阳虫（Actinophrys sol）的组织结构进行了描述。详细描述了营养体及其细胞器的特征。概述了包囊形成、自体受精和脱囊的过程。包囊形成涉及硅质鳞片的产生，这些鳞片注定会成为具有多层囊壁的静止囊的一层。自体受精发生在静止囊形成之前。静止囊中几乎完全没有营养体的细胞质特征，但在脱囊时会重新出现。利用这些结构特征来评估太阳虫与其他太阳虫类、太阳虫、辐足虫和肉足虫的亲缘关系。得出的结论是，传统的太阳虫分类的合理性值得怀疑。
