Scanning electron micrograph reveals microvilli on the surface of HeLa cells in culture. Image by Keith Porter. Figure 31 from Chapter 2 (Specializations of the Free Surface) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' b...

The final stages of cell division is captured in the scanning electron micrograph. Two daughter cells are still interconnected by slender strands of membrane (white arrow at center of image). Lamell...

Stacks of rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) cisternae seen in a transmission electron micrograph of a section through a secretory acinar cell from the bat exocrine pancreas. The rough ER is here involv...

Cross-section of one of the centrioles of a diplosome and the surrounding region. The cells of a ciliated epithelium often produce many cilia, each of which grows from a 'basal body,' a structure that...

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...

Here a mitochondrion is sliced approximately through its midplane, so both its outer membrane and the infoldings of its inner membrane are clearly seen. The organization of the inner membrane is parti...
