Figure 429 from Chapter 16 (Cytoplasmic matrix and cytoskeleton) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A high magnification image showing interdigitation between actin and myosin filaments at...

This electron micrograph shows the basal lamina as a thin gray moustache following parallel along the basal membrane of epithelial cells from human corneal epithelium. In this tissue, the basal lamin...

A high resolution micrograph of the Contractile Vacuole Complex membrane system to determine what happens to the CV during systole we observed the CV in a living cell and then fixed the cell as soon a...

Lipid droplet contacts with nucleus and kinetoplast in a Leishmania amastigote inside golden hamster spleen cell. The image shows a transversal section of the cell. Below plasma membrane is possible t...

A high resolution view of the Contractile Vacuole Complex. The CV membrane has collapsed into regularly spaced tubules oriented perpendicular to the microtubular ribbon in this ruptured cell. Some tub...

To determine what happens to the CV during systole we observed the CV in a living cell and then fixed the cell as soon as the CV had opened to the outside. It was apparent that the CV membrane does no...

Mitochondria of Vorticella convallaria like other ciliates, have tubular cristae arising from their inner membranes. However, they also have a bundle of filaments (DNA?) that extend through the center...

Electron micrograph of a nerve from the mesentery of a rat shows groups of unmyelinated axons wrapped by deeply invaginating Schwann cells in cross section. Surrounding the Schwann cell wrapping is a ...

Kinetoplast and flagellum of a Leishmania promastigote cell. The image shows a longitudinal section through the anterior end of the cell, where the flagellum emerges from the flagellar pocket. The bas...

Single tilt image of a 250 um thick section of a Drosophila S2 cell infected with flock house virus (FHV-1) imaged with intermediate voltage electron microscopy, taken at zero degree tilt. The dark sp...
