This electron micrograph shows the basal lamina along the midgut epithelium of the flea. Unlike the vertebrate basal lamina, which appears as a homogenous layer, the basal lamina in insects often app...

This electron micrograph shows the basal lamina as a thin gray moustache following parallel along the basal membrane of epithelial cells from human corneal epithelium. In this tissue, the basal lamin...

This electron micrograph shows the endothelium and the underlying Descemet's membrane of the human cornea. Descemet's membrane is an unusually thick and structurally specialized example of basal lami...
