Transmission electron micrograph of a clathrin coated pt caveola and transgential cut of a coated vesicle in an endothelial cell. Specimen comes from a capillary in a rat tongue. Image made availabl...

A colorized scanning electron microscope picture of a nerve ending that has been broken open to reveal the synaptic vesicles (orange and blue) beneath the cell membrane.

A clump of at least seven small clathrin cages that are probably connected to an early endosome (below the fracture plane). The morphology of these cages shows a tighter packing than the larger clathr...

A high resolution of a quick-freeze deep-etch rotary shadowed replica of a parasomal sac from which a clathrin-coated preendosomal vesicle has pinched off. The typical clathrin cage structure is prese...

Higher resolution 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 preendosomal ...

Figure 393 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Longitudinal section of frog neuromuscular junction, prepared by rapid freezing with liquid helium fo...

Figure 395 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Section through a portion of axon of a Muller cell and adjacent neuropil from the central nervous sys...

Transmission electron micrographs of serial sections of nerve cells illustration a dendrite. Note that this very early (1954) micrograph is primarily of historical interest since it pre-dates glutara...

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...
