Electron Microscopy: Nuclear Pore ComplexA three-dimensional image of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), revealed by electron microscopy. A-B The NPC in yeast. Figure A shows the NPC seen from the cytoplasm while figure B displays a side view. C-D The NPC in vertebrate (Xenopus). Figure A shows the NPC seen from the cytoplasm while figure B displays a side view. |
