Fig. 24: possible peroxisomes in a QF-DE image

In quick-freeze deep-etch micrographs it is not easy to distinguish peroxisomes from surrounding organelles. The organelle at the top of this micrograph may be a peroxisome (per) based on its finely granular content. Also the elongated vesicle showing a porous E-fracture face in the middle may also be a peroxisome (per?). Several mitochondria (m) and the porous E-face of the smooth spongiome (ss) of the CVC (associated with a microtubular ribbon (mt)) are present. lip, lipid. EM taken on 6/22/88 by C. Schroeder with Zeiss 10A TEM. Neg. 15,900X. Bar = 0.25µm.
