Abstract

Freeze‐fracture technique was used to analyse the structure of conventionally fixed and quickly frozen Bodo sp., a free‐living kinetoplastid. In the former method, chemically fixed and cryopreserved cells presented a corrugated membrane pattern in the flagella and cell body surfaces. In the latter, however, replicas from quickly frozen unfixed flagellates showed membranes with a smoother aspect, allowing the observation of intramembranous particles (IMPs) on the fracture faces, hardly detectable in previously fixed samples. The IMPs were randomly distributed throughout the cell surface, except in the sparsely seen short IMP rows. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract The distribution of fibers in agarose gels has been studied by electron‐microscopic examination of replicas formed from freeze‐fracture surfaces. For gels set in water, the results obtained support the model proposed for the gel structure by Arnott et al. (1974) of a random array of lon

## Abstract Meningeal capillaries are unfenestrated. They are made up of endothelial cells that have a pinocytotic caveolae density of 41 ± 11/μm^2^ and 89 ± 21/μm^2^ on the abluminal and luminal sides respectively. The total density of intramembrane particles is not significantly different between
