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...

Figure 296 from Chapter 11 (Melanin Pigment) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Melanocyte at the dermoepidermal junction, flanked by portions of two adjacent epithelial cells from African...

Phase contrast of a PtK1 cell (marsupial kidney epithelial cell) injected with Pak1 inhibitory fragment (H83L, 120 uM needle concentration) and X-rhodamine tubulin. Microtubules dynamics in these cell...

Phase contrast image of PtK1 cell (marsupial kidney epithelial cell) injected with Pak1 inhibitory fragment (H83L), X-rhodamine tubulin, and expressing constitutively active Rac(Q61L). Microtubule dyn...

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 ...

Sarcolemma of skeletal muscle prepared by a quick-freeze deep-etch method also shows the basement membrane (lamina externa, labeled here as the basal lamina) associated with the muscle fiber. This me...

Phase contrast image of a PTK-1 cell expressing constitutively active Rac1(Q61L). Live cells were visualized using X-rhodamine tubulin (injected at 1 mg/mL)and eGFP-Rac1(Q61L) (injected into the nucl...

Phase contrast image of control PtK1 cell whose microtubules were visualized by microinjected X-rhodamine tubulin and fluorescence microscopy. This cell corresponds to Figure 1 and Video 1 of J Cel...

This electron micrograph shows the endothelium and the underlying Descemet's membrane of the human cornea. Descemet's membrane is an unusually thick and structurally specialized example of basal lami...

Figure 297 from Chapter 11 (Melanin Pigment) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Epidermal melanocyte from facial skin of an orangutan illustrates the interstitial location of a melanocyte ...
