The two CV pores of a cell. An impression of the helically wound microtubules are detectable in the right pore. TEM taken on 4/21/78 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A operating at 60kV. Neg. 21,750X. Bar = 0.2?m. The negative was printed to paper and the image was scanned to Photoshop. This digitized image is available for qualitative analysis. There is a high resolution version of this image in the library (CIL:39794) which is available for quantitative analysis. Additional information available at (http://www5.pbrc.hawaii.edu/allen/).
