Transmission electron micrograph of a rat kidney filtration barrier. This tangential section illustrates the fenestrated endothelium and basement membrane. The series of images in this group have p...

Transmission electron micrograph of rat kidney filtration barrier. Image is low magnification vies of the basement membrane filtration slits, urinary space, and the glomerular filtration capillary lu...

Low magnification of the epidermal region of the Fundulus heteroclitus scale. The epidermis is separated from the collagen layers of the dermis by the basement membrane. The cells of the epidermis (to...

Peripheral area of normal rat kidney. The capillary wall is composed of three distinct layers: the endothelium with its fenestra, the basement membrane (BM) which is a continuous layer 0.1 to 0.15 mic...

Eye of a 24 hr zebrafish embryo stained for paxillin (green) and laminin (red). Images made available by Mark Cooper thru The Zebrafish A Living Laboratory.

This electron micrograph shows the basal lamina along the midgut epithelium of the flea. Unlike the vertebrate basal lamina, which appears as a homogenous layer, the basal lamina in insects often app...

This electron micrograph shows the basal lamina as a thin gray moustache following parallel along the basal membrane of epithelial cells from human corneal epithelium. In this tissue, the basal lamin...

This electron micrograph shows the endothelium and the underlying Descemet's membrane of the human cornea. Descemet's membrane is an unusually thick and structurally specialized example of basal lami...

Figure 297 from Chapter 11 (Melanin Pigment) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Epidermal melanocyte from facial skin of an orangutan illustrates the interstitial location of a melanocyte ...

Electron micrograph of corn stunt spiroplasma (CSS) in the wall of the filter chamber (part of the alimentary canal) and in the hemolymph (he) of a vector leafhopper D. gelbus. Note the mainly pleiomo...
