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 ...

Basal body formation occurs most prominently in the equatorial region of the predivision cell. A new basal body begins to develop perpendicular to the mature basal body at its proximal anterior surfac...

Electron micrograph of corn stunt spiroplasma (CSS) in the wall of the filter chamber (part of the alimentary canal) and in the hemolymph (he) of a vector leafhopper D. gelbus. Note the mainly pleiomo...

Collagen fibrils and mineralization in the external layer of Fundulus heteroclitus scale. The external layer is the second of three layers closest to the dermis of an elasmoid. It is composed of thin ...

The image shows an anchor cell (red) in the developing female reproductive system of C. elegans pushing through the basement membrane (green) that surrounds it. This type of invasion is also often see...

Light micrograph of elastic cartilage of the ear. This type of cartilage is made from a protein called elastin and is formed from a network of elastic fibers and collagen. The fibers form bundles whic...

Light micrograph of elastic cartilage of the ear. This is a type of cartilage (connective tissue) that is present in the outer ear. It contains a network of collagen and elastin fibers, which gives it...

During division new basal bodies develop accessory fibers and begin to move apart to take up a position equidistant between the older complexes. The new kinetodesmal fiber seems to be associated with ...

Scanning electron microscope image of Strongylocentrotus drobachiensus [sea urchin] at the gastrula stage. Embryo was split open to reveal the blastocoel cavity. There are several migrating mesenchyme...

Transmission electron micrograph showing a transverse section through a nerve fiber in the corneal stroma. The cell contains a nucleus, mitochondria and some rough endoplasmic reticulum. The nerve is ...
