Susumu Ito (2011) CIL:10929, Felis catus, epithelial cell, enterocyte. CIL. Dataset

This electron micrograph shows a region of the brush border of the cat intestine. Tufted and branched polysaccharide filaments, each a few nanometers thick, extend from the microvilli to make up the glycocalyx, or surface coat, on the surface of plasma membrane of these epithelial cells. This image, courtesy of Susumu Ito is Figure 16 from Chapter 1 (The Cell Surface) 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.

本电子显微镜图像展示了猫肠道刷状缘的区域。丛生且分支的多糖丝状结构，其厚度约为数纳米，自微绒毛向外延伸，构成了这些上皮细胞质膜表面的糖被，或称表面涂层。此图像由伊东修二先生提供，是《细胞》第二版（第一章《细胞表面》）中的图16。相关章节的PDF副本可在美国细胞生物学学会（ASCB）的BioEDUCATE网站上获取。
