Description

High resolution view of an early endosome with at least two coated evaginations showing, lies next to the proximal end of a fractured basal body. Other clathrin cages may indicate other evaginations from the same early endosome or from another nearby early endosome. TEM taken on 6/6/91 by R. Allen with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 31,500X. Adapted with permission from J. Cell Sci. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750 Pro. This image is best used for quantitative analysis.
