| Method |
"To study
the relationship between cell wall formation and the actin cytoskeleton, the
process of cell wall regeneration from the protoplast was investigated by
transmission electron microscopy (TEM), immunoelectron microscopy
(IEM) and three-dimensional reconstruction analysis." |
| Comments |
"In serial sectioned TEM images, filasomes were spherical, 100-300 nm in diameter and consisted of a single microvesicle (35-70 nm diameter) surrounded by fine filaments." "Thus, a filasome is a spherical body with a diameter of 100–300 nm, which consists of a single microvesicle 35–70 nm in diameter surrounded by fine filaments (Fig. 4 insert, Figs 5b and 6b)." "[Researchers] found by a series of transverse sections that a filasome is a spherical structure with a diameter of 100–300 nm consisting of a microvesicle surrounded by fine filaments." |
