CIL:403, Mus musculus, skeletal muscle cell. In Cell Image Library

Thin section electron microscopy of the gastrocnemius (skeletal) muscle from the delta-sarcoglycan mouse.

Sample was viewed with a Hitachi 7600 electron microscope (accelerating voltage 80 KV) and imaged with an AMT digital camera.

This image is part of a set of images of the gastrocnemius muscle from the delta-sarcoglycan knockout mouse. A set of images of wild type mouse gastrocnemius from this same study also are included in The CELL: an image library.
