A clump of at least seven small clathrin cages that are probably connected to an early endosome (below the fracture plane). The morphology of these cages shows a tighter packing than the larger clathr...

Cultured retinal pigment epithelial cells immunofluorescently labeled for adaptor protein-2 (AP2) (green) and nucleus (blue). The cells were fixed in 2% PFA and 0.5% Triton X-100 for 2 minutes follow...

A high resolution of a quick-freeze deep-etch rotary shadowed replica of a parasomal sac from which a clathrin-coated preendosomal vesicle has pinched off. The typical clathrin cage structure is prese...

Higher resolution of the area that shows the clathrin-coated cage near the peniculus and clathrin coated preendosomal and partially coated preendosomal vesicles. Early endosomes like the preendosomal ...

Higher resolution image of the area that shows the clathrin-coated cage near the peniculus and clathrin coated preendosomal and partially coated preendosomal vesicles. Early endosomes like the preendo...

High resolution image of quick-freeze deep-etch rotary-shadowed replica of an early endosome with two clathrin-coated evaginations. Presumably these coated pits contain receptors for cargo that will b...

High resolution image of a cell sectioned perpendicular to the surface. The parasomal sac ends internally as a coated pit, coated with clathrin. Where the coated pit has pinched off a clathrin-coated ...

High resolution micrograph following trifluoperizine (TFP) treatment, which apparently does not inhibit endocytosis but does inhibit movement of vesicles away from the parasomal sacs, coated and preen...

High resolution image of two parasomal sacs that are oriented perpendicular to the basal bodies. The top parasomal sac has a clathrin cage around it's coated pit area. The P-face of the plasma membran...

Cell sectioned perpendicular to the surface. The parasomal sac ends internally as a coated pit, coated with clathrin. Where the coated pit has pinched off a clathrin-coated vesicle is formed. When the...
