Description

Figure 393 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Longitudinal section of frog neuromuscular junction, prepared by rapid freezing with liquid helium followed by freeze substition. The nerve terminal is densely packed with synaptic vesicles, and surrounded by the myelinating Schwann cell. Image by John Heuser and Tom Reese. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
