Fig. 26: QF-DE detail of carrier vesicles attached to microtubule

Details of the binding of the carrier vesicle to a microtubule. Four bridges, thought to be cytoplasmic dynein arms, span the 40nm space between these two structures. The membrane of the vesicle has been fractured to expose its smooth E-face. EM taken on 5/18/88 by C. Schroeder with Zeiss 10A TEM. Neg. 31,500X. Bar = 0.1µm. Published in J.
