Fig. 7: planar view of early endosome

An early endosome (ee) in planar view that contains HRP-reaction product. This cell was exposed to HRP for 6 min. and then fixed. This early endosome had two small coated evaginations arising from its rim and also had two large HRP-containing uncoated vesicles docked next to it presumably ready to fuse with it (for this picture and a serial section showing these two vesicles and the second evagination see Fig. 14C in Allen, Schroeder and Fok, J. Cell Sci. 101:449-461, 1992). Mitochondria (m) have an endogenous peroxidase activity. tric, trichocyst. EM taken on 10/20/91 by R. Allen with Zeiss 10A TEM. Neg. 19,800X. Bar = 0.25µm.
