Three-dimensional Representation and Quantification of Endosomes in the Rat Kidney Proximal Tubule Cell
1991
The organization of the endosomal compartment in the rat kidney proximal tubule cell was studied by computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction based on tracing of serial thin sections. Besides the well-documented endocytic elements such as small vesicles, tubules and large vacuoles, the endosomal compartment contained a prominent structural complex consisting of a central vacuolar element (with diameters up to 2000 nm) and associated systems of radiating tubular profiles. The large endosomes examined had from two to twenty-four tubules as straight or bending extensions directed randomly from the central vacuole
