Single computed slice through a tomographic reconstruction of the cell body of a protoplasmic astrocyte in a 0.5 um thick section from the hippocampus of a 1 month old male mouse, imaged with intermed...

Platinum replica depicting the cytoskeletal organization of dendritic spines in extracted 14 DIV neurons. Mushroom spines associate with dendrites at the base (bottom) and with axons by the head (top)...

At the same time that the acidosomes fuse with the phagosome, the DV-I membrane, that originated from the discoidal vesicles, is transformed into tubules that are removed from the phagosome. By this p...

By 5-8 minutes the membrane of the DV uniformly labels with the mAb to the L1 antigen that is specific for acidosomes and phagoacidosome (DV-II) membrane. An unlabeled lysosome lies next to the DV-II....

A high resolution image Didinium. This ciliate has two bands of ciliated basal bodies that encircle the cell, one adorally and one aborally. The bands are composed of groups of approximately 15 ciliat...

Cardiac muscle, particularly from the left ventricle, is rich in mitochondria since the heart requires an efficient continuous source of energy. In this highly magnified image, showing the length of t...

This image shows the heterogeneity in the content of lysosomes near the plasma membrane between two hepatocytes and near the bile canaliculus (not visible in this field). Some of the lysosomes contai...

This section of liver from newborn rat shows glycogen deposits that are especially abundant in rat liver at this developmental stage. Deposits of glycogen, the storage form of glucose, are abundant i...

This is a view of apical domains of two adjacent hepatocytes showing the junctional complexes that attach cells to one another. The canaliculus is defined by the cell membranes of two adjacent liver c...

This is a view of apical domains of two adjacent hepatocytes in the guinea pig liver, showing the junctional complexes that attach cells to one another. The bile canaliculus (BC) is defined by the cel...
