Description

An early endosome in planar view that contains HRP-reaction product. This cell was exposed to HRP for 6 min. and then fixed. This early endosome had two small coated evaginations arising from its rim and also had two large HRP-containing uncoated vesicles docked next to it presumably ready to fuse with it (for this picture and a serial section showing these two vesicles and the second evagination see Fig. 14C in Allen, Schroeder and Fok, J. Cell Sci. 101:449-461, 1992). Mitochondria have an endogenous peroxidase activity. This image was adapted with permission from Fig. 14. TEM taken on 10/20/91 by R. Allen with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 19,800X. Bar = 0.25µm. The negative was printed to paper and the image was scanned to Photoshop. This digitized image is available for qualitative analysis. An unprocessed, high resolution version of this image (CIL:12617) is in the library and available for quantitative analysis. Standard glutaraldehyde fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in alcohol and embedded in an epoxy resin. Microtome sections prepared at approximately 75nm thickness.
