Figure 375 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Freeze-fracture replica of a cell from rat adrenal medulla. Using this technique, secretory vesicles appear as smooth-coutoured spheres with intramembraneous particles inserted in the limiting membrane. Nuclear pore complexes are apparent in the fractured inner membrane of the nucleus at the lower right. Image by Daniel Friend. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
