Cubic membrane such as this array represents the cell’s method of storing large quantities of lipid and protein bilayers into the smallest possible volume. These membranes can quickly expand into pl...

Figures 272 (upper) and 273 (lower) from Chapter 8 (Lysosomes) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Lysosomes in the basal region of epithelial cells from the cauda epididymis of the rabbit....

Figures 266 (upper left), 267 (upper right), 268 (lower left) and 269 (lower right) from Chapter 8 (Lysosomes) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Autophagic vacuoles from normal rat liver ...

Electron micrographs show examples of pinocytosis in endothelial cells of blood vessels in the cat myocardium (panels A,B,C and H), and from the choroid rete of the bowfin fish eye. Both types of cell...

Transmission electron micrograph of an unbudded yeast cell treated with 60µM sertraline. Two autophagosomes containing membranous material are visible. Two vacuoles of mixed electron density are also...

Transmission electron micrograph of a representative untreated swa2 mutant cell. SWA2 encodes the yeast homolog of auxilin, which is a co-chaperone that regulates clathrin assembly and disassembly. sw...

A transmission electron micrograph of a Leydig cell isolated from guinea pig testes. This is a higher magnification image of CIL: 41111 showing nuclear peripheral hererochromatin, highly organized sm...

Transmission electron micrograph of a vacuole from a sertraline-treated sac1∆ mutant cell. The vacuolar membrane is moderately crenated. (25,000X). This image is part of a group of yeast vacuole im...

Transmission electron micrograph of a representative untreated vma9 mutant cell. VMA9 encodes a subunit of the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase (V-ATPase). vma9 mutant cells contain non-spherical vacuoles at a...

The 11 micrographs of the group are views of a serially-sectioned contracted Vorticella convallaria cell that show the main features of this cell. This figure shows 1 food vacuole; a segment of the ma...
