Transmission electron micrographs. The upper panel shows a section through a frog nucleated erythrocyte. The nucleus is largely filled with heterochromatin which appears to have a fibro-granular stru...

Transmission electron micrograph of a pancreatic acinar cell from the bat Myotis lucifugus showing the 'classic' ultrastructural features of the nucleus after glutaraldehyde fixation. The large darkly...

Like other ciliates two types of nuclei are present. A germinative micronucleus and a RNA-producing macronucleus. Both have nuclear envelopes with pores and both have ribosomes attached to their outer...

Transmission electron micrograph of a thin section of the nucleus of a HeLa cell expressing mutant ALADIN. Pore structure appears to be unaffected in the mutant. From a study of the role of the nuclea...

High resolution image of the macronucleus of Coleps hirtus. Heterochromatin and nucleoli are seen as smaller and larger stained bodies, respectively, in the macronucleus. Many nuclear pores exist in t...

Nucleoli in a macronucleus of a cell undergoing micronuclear division. The nucleolus appears to have an organized surface layer composed of parallel threads of subunits. These may be developing riboso...

Fluorescence images showing the distribution of GFP-ALADIN, a WD-repeat protein that is mutated in the human triple A syndrome (green), and Tpr, a nucleoporin that localizes to the nucleoplasmic filam...

A high resolution image of the micronucleus and macronucleus of Opercularia coarctata. The nuclear envelope has numerous pores, at least as many per unit length as in the macronucleus. Some areas of t...

Nuclear pores are clearly seen in these transmission electron micrographs of cells after cryo-fixation, freeze-fracture and surface replication. Upper panel shows the outer surface of of the nuclear e...

Grazing thin section through the nuclear envelope of a macronucleus. Nuclear pores are packed so tightly that they often form a hexagonal array with 6 pores surrounding a central pore. The pores often...
