Description:

Description: English: Electron tomography of protoplast periphery of Glaucocystis nostochinearum SAG 16.98 vegetative cell.(a) Ultra-high voltage electron microscopic image. Inset shows higher magnification image of the cell periphery (boxed area). Scale bar, 5 μm and 1 μm (inset).(b) Tomographic image of boxed area in (a). Note that the plasma membrane lacks deep grooves at section. Scale bar, 1 μm.M, mitochondrion; P, plastid; V, vacuole; W, cell wall.(c) Tomographic image showing distribution of plasma membrane (magenta) and underlying flattened vesicles (yellow) associated with microtubules (green) on cytoplasmic side. Not to scale. Note that plasma membrane and flattened vesicles exhibit almost smooth surfaces. Arrowheads indicate slight overlapping of neighbouring flattened vesicles. For abbreviations of organelles, see (b). Date: 6 October 2015.
