Description

A high resolution image of a clump of at least seven small clathrin cages that are probably connected to an early endosome (below the fracture plane). The morphology of these cages shows a tighter packing than the larger clathrin cages at the parasomal sacs. TEM taken on 7/29/88 by C. Schroeder with Zeiss 10A operating at 80kV. Neg. 31,500X. The raw film was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750 Pro. This image is best used for quantitative analysis. Additional information available at (http://www5.pbrc.hawaii.edu/allen/).
