This animation shows the process of clathrin-mediated endocytosis of transferrin receptors, focusing on the assembly and disassembly of the clathrin cage. A single triskelion, which is approximately 1...

Higher resolution image of the area that shows the clathrin-coated cage near the peniculus and clathrin coated preendosomal and partially coated preendosomal vesicles. Early endosomes like the preendo...

High resolution image of quick-freeze deep-etch rotary-shadowed replica of an early endosome with two clathrin-coated evaginations. Presumably these coated pits contain receptors for cargo that will b...

High resolution view of an early endosome with at least two coated evaginations showing, lies next to the proximal end of a fractured basal body. Other clathrin cages may indicate other evaginations f...

The pellicular pore consists of the invaginated plasma membrane that penetrates the alveolus as well as the epiplasm and ends as a clathrin-coated pit. TEM taken on 3/14/72 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU...

A glancing view of the cortex of Conchophthirus reveals details of cortical structure. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and the alveolar membranes that reside immediately below the surfac...

High resolution image showing that one parasomal sac lies anterior to each basal body of the somatic ciliature. A parasomal sac is an indentation of the plasma membrane that penetrates into the cytoso...

A glancing view of the cortex of Conchophthirus reveals details of cortical structure. A near serial section with CIL:39239. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and the alveolar membranes th...

A transverse section of the cortex of Conchophthirus curtus reveals details of cortical structure. This includes the nature of the cell membrane and the alveolar membranes that reside immediately belo...

High resolution image of two parasomal sacs that are oriented perpendicular to the basal bodies. The top parasomal sac has a clathrin cage around it's coated pit area. The P-face of the plasma membran...
