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 ...

This electron micrograph shows a region of the brush border of the cat intestine. Tufted and branched polysaccharide filaments, each a few nanometers thick, extend from the microvilli to make up the ...

This electron micrograph highlights a darkly-stained glycocalyx rim of the brush border of the intestinal epithelium of the cat, stained en bloc with colloidal thorium. The glycocalyx is composed of ...

These two micrographs show the outer cell surface of the epithelial cell border in intestine (upper) and stomach (lower) tissue. This surface, called the glycocalyx, is composed of negatively charged...

Filaments extend from microvilli of the epithelial cells in the intestine of the bat, Moytis lucifugus in these two high magnification electron micrographs. These filaments, which are 2.5-5nm thick, ...

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...
