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...

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...

Electron micrograph showing fingerprint like ridges called microplicae on the surface of fish skin epidermis from the neon tetra. These ridges offer mechanical reinforcement against trauma and help ho...

Single image from a serial section electron microscopic reconstruction of the cell body of a cortical pyramidal neuron from a biopsy sample obtained from the cortex of a patient with Alzheimer's dise...

Time-lapse movie showing extensive dissemination of myoepithelial cells from P-cadherin null epithelium, with gradual loss of myoepithelial coverage. The cells are expressing td tomato as a membrane ...

This electron micrograph shows the basal lamina along the midgut epithelium of the flea. Unlike the vertebrate basal lamina, which appears as a homogenous layer, the basal lamina in insects often app...

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 ...

Transmission electron micrograph of spectrin in cell fractionation. Dr. V. T. Marchesi and colleagues took advantage of the high purity of red cell ghosts obtained by hypotonic lysis to analyze the p...

Fluorescent micrograph showing human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived cardiomyocytes (CDI iCell) treated with 2 microM Erythromycin for 4 hours and stained for cell membrane permeabilizatio...

COS 7 cell expressing Organelle LightsTM PM-GFP (Invitrogen)consisting of the myristoylation/palmitoylation sequence from Lck tyrosine kinase. Images were collected with a 63X 1.4 NA Plan-Apochromat ...
