Description

Transmission electron micrograph illustrating the unusually prominent fibrous nuclear lamina (arrows) seen in many invertebrates such as this leech ganglion cell. From Fawcett (1966) Am J. Anat. 119:129-146, and reprinted with permission as Figure 155 from Chapter 4 (Nucleus) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
