'''Tonofibrils''' are cytoplasmic protein structures in [[epithelial]] tissues that converge at [[desmosomes]] and [[hemidesmosomes]].<ref name=":0">{{DorlandsDict|eight/000109361|tonofibril}}</ref> They consist of fine [[fibril]]s in epithelial cells that are anchored to the [[cytoskeleton]].<ref name=":1" /> They were discovered by [[Rudolf Heidenhain]], and first described in detail by [[Louis-Antoine Ranvier]] in 1897.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Charles|first1=Arwyn|last2=Smiddy|first2=F.
