Freeze-fracture preparation of a continuous junction on the lateral surface of epithelial cells from the gut of a flea. Meandering ridges appear to be on the P-face of the replica. Figure 80, by Susumo Ito, from Chapter 3 (Junctional Specializations) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
