A freeze fracture replica of a Sertoli cell junction from rat testis shows more than 50 rows of particles along the E-face. Image from Gilula, Fawcett and Aoki, Dev. Biol. 50: 142-168 (1976), reprint...

Primary bone marrow macrophages derived from mouse plated on a coverslip and imaged live. Phase contrast microscopy allows us to see the dense f-actin rich leading edge, ruffles, mitochondria, the nu...

This freeze fracture micrograph shows a region of membrane from the midpiece of opossum Didelphis virginiana sperm. This region of the sperm is notable for the repeating longitudinal bands composed ...

Colocalization of the microtubule anchoring factor LL5α (red) with integrin α6 (blue) in the basal cortex of outer epithelium of mouse mammary gland tissue. LL5 did not colocalize with β-catenin-p...

Electron micrograph of Maize mosaic virus (MMV, Rhabdoviridae) in nerve axons of the insect vector Peregrinus maidis (planthopper, Hemiptera, Delphacidae). MMV virions are bullet-shaped or bacilliform...

Migration of neuronal precursors along from the subventricular zone to the olfactory bulb via the rostral migratory stream. Parasagittal slices were prepared from P10 mice (see Webb et al.,PMID: 12071...

Freeze-fracture preparation of the plasma membrane from an unspecialized area composed of Sertoli cells of the guinea pig testis. With the freeze-fracture technique, tissue is rapidly frozen and crac...

Movie shows restricted distribution of PECAM-1[high] CD45+ cells to the luminal surface of the aortic endothelium from an E11.5 mouse embryo. PECAM-1[high] cells are in red, CD45+ cells are in green a...

Gap junctions isolated from mouse liver and negatively stained with uranyl formate. At higher magnification, the 8-9 nm particles, or connexons, have a central 1.5-2 nm electron dense pore. Images b...

Gap junctions from a granulosa cell of a rat ovarian follicle. Variability in size of the gap junctions is likely an artifact of the freeze fracture preparation. Figure 99 from Chapter 3 (Junctional ...
