Confocal micrograph of an isolated melanin-producing cell (a melanocyte) showing the melanosomes (vesicles that hold the melanin granules) in yellow, the actin in red and the microtubules in blue. The...

Scanning electron micrograph of the inside of a cancer cell. This cell originates from a squamous cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. The cell has been frozen and split open to reveal its nucleus.

Figure 209 from Chapter 6 (Golgi Apparatus) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Portions of two hepatic cells and the intervening bile canaliculus from rat liver. Two stacks of Golgi ciste...

Mitochondrial distribution (visualized with Mitotracker CMXRos) was largely unaffected by partial fragmentation of the intermediate filament cytoskeleton, visualized here with vimentin antibody, after...

Early transmission electron micrograph of a thin section of a secretory cell from guinea pig pancreas showing endoplasmic reticulum at left and Golgi apparatus at right. Image made available by James...

Figure 423 from Chapter 16 (Cytoplasmic matrix and cytoskeleton) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Longitudinal section of the manchette of a rodent spermatid. The microtubules end in a ...

A view of microtubular ribbons in which the periodic structure of the tubulin units can be seen along the length of the microtubules. Short bridges link the microtubules side to side within a ribbon. ...

This ghoulish-looking Schwann cell was present in a primary culture of the dorsal root ganglion of mouse that was transfected with a mutant peripherin transgene. The intermediate filament network (vi...

High resolution micrograph through an oblique section of the cortex of Coleps showing many ribosomes, ordered into whorls and spirals, collectively called polysomes, on the surface of the rough endopl...

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...
