This freeze fracture view of the pellicle of V. microstoma near the aboral end of the zooid shows the region where the width of each circumferential alveolus is narrower and thus the strings of fractured pits are closer together. In this case the E-fracture face of the outer alveolar membrane is shown which has fewer IMPs than the P-face of the outer alveolar membrane. Here the connections are indentations rather than fractured necks. In a few areas the P-fracture face of the plasma membrane is viewed where it was pinched into the folds between rings that surround the cell. The plasma membrane demonstrates the large number of prominent IMPs on this face of the plasma membrane. TEM taken on 11/11/75 by R. Allen with JEM 100B. Neg. 21,578X. The raw negative was scanned with an Epson Perfection V750 Pro and this high resolution image is best used for quantitative analysis.
