Abstract

Day‐night differences in the areas of granular endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, dense‐core vesicles, and lysosomelike bodies were analyzed morphometrically in the pinealocytes of the chipmunk. The area of lysosomelike bodies was greater at night and lower during the daytime. In contrast, the areas of granular endoplasmic reticulum and dense‐core vesicles were greater during daytime and lower at night. Our observations suggest the existence of 24‐hour rhythms in the areas of these structures, perhaps indicative of a pineal rhythm in secretion, whether indolic or peptidergic.

Excimer laser radiation at 193 nm and 248 nm was used to create linear etch perforations of enucleated calf corneas. The etch depth per pulse was determined for various exposures, and specimens were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. Compared to 248 nm, excimer laser ablation at

In an effort to further understand the basis for the changes in steroidogenesis known to occur during sexual maturation in the rat, we examined by quantitative morphologic methods the number and ultrastructure of Leydig cells in fetal rats (days 18-20 of gestation) and in rats from days 2 to 3 of ag
