Description

The tubules arising from late DV-III expand at their distal ends into rounded shapes. These expanded ends contain a glycocalyx like the secondary lysosomes and large IMPs also like secondary lysosomes. TEM taken on 8/7/80 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM. Neg. 12,250X. Part published in J. Cell Biol. 99:1955-1959, 1984. Adapted with permission.

Technical Details

Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alcohol and embedded in an epoxy resin. Microtome sections prepared at approximately 75nm thickness. The raw negative was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750 Pro and this high resolution image is best used for quantitative analysis.
