Description

The cytopharynx/nascent digestive vacuole (phagosome) has an E-fracture face containing a high number of IMPs. Interestingly these IMPs are sometimes organized into plaques where there are several short rows of IMPs lying parallel to each other next to plaques with their rows of IMPs set at various angles to the other plaques. This suggests that each plaque is formed by the fusion of one discoidal vesicle and that the IMPs in the discoidal vesicles themselves must be organized into rows. TEM taken on 5/26/92 by R. Allen with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 19,800X. Bar = 0.2µm. A print of the negative was scanned and processed in Photoshop. This image is best used for qualitative analysis.
