Description

Figure 439 from Chapter 16 (Cytoplasmic matrix and cytoskeleton) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Portion of a large stress fiber, composed of subunits of fibrous actin. This image is from a 3T3 cell, treated with Triton, washed, quick frozen with liquid helium, deep etched, and rotary shadowed. Image by John Heuser. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
