Images of desmosomes from conventional EM and freeze fracture preparations show transmembrane filaments that link two hemidesmosomes. Upper: section of a cell boundary in the ciliary epithelium of th...

This electron micrograph shows the plasma membrane of epithelial cells of the brush border of the cat intestine, obtained from a thin section parallel to the free surface. The ability to visualize ce...

Upper: a gap junction on the boundary between two hepatic cells shows a typical narrow and straight interface. Lower: in some preparations, gap junctions appear curved, and project into one of the ce...

Liver of a rat exposed to chemical carcinogens. Serial sections of the liver imaged by laser scanning confocal microscopy. F-actin (red) is in bile canaliculi at junctions of the hepatocytes, which ...

Single frog sacculus hair bundle imaged with field-emission scanning electron microscope.

Human duodenal epithelium. Peroxisomes are stained with DAB at pH 10.5 by their catalase activity and postosmicated. 0.5 µm plastic section were visualized using electron microscopy at low magnificat...

Scanning electron micrograph of a hamster oocyte cumulus complex. Cumulus cells (purple) and matrix (gray) are shown. Small blood clots (red) also often appear in oocyte cumulus complexes. The red blo...
