Figure 180 from Chapter 5 (Endoplasmic Reticulum) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Electron micrograph of a rat intestinal epithelium cell during absorption of a fatty meal. Droplets of ...

Electron micrograph showing the brush border of intestinal epithelial cells of the rat. The parallel microvilli of the brush border are about 0.1 µm wide and 1.0 µm in length. Image by Jean Paul R...

Transmission electron micrograph of a nerve cell synapsing on a dendrite. The synapse contains many synaptic vesicles and a cluster of mitochondria. Note that this very early (1953) micrograph is pr...

Figure 172 from Chapter 5 (Endoplasmic Reticulum) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Electron micrograph of a Nissl body in a large motor neuron. The fenestrated cisternae of the endoplas...

Transmission electron micrograph of nerve cells at the thigh muscle motor end plate. The motor end plate is the highly-excitable region of muscle fiber plasma membrane responsible for initiation of a...

Transmission electron micrograph showing the aggregation of rough endplasmic reticulum known as a Nissl bodiy within nerve cells of the superior cervical ganglion. Note that this very early (1953) m...

Transmission electron micrographs of serial sections of nerve cells illustration a dendrite. Note that this very early (1954) micrograph is primarily of historical interest since it pre-dates glutara...

Transmission electron micrograph of rat neuronal dendrite. Note that this very early (1954) micrograph is primarily of historical interest since it pre-dates glutaraldehye fixation which was introd...
