Abstract
Highly basophilic plate-shaped regions from oocytes of the surf clam have been examined with the electron microscope. The regions are composed of flat, hollow vesicles perforated by pores arranged, in surface view, in a hexagonal pattern. Cross-sections of this structure show a periodicity consisting of loops (cross-sections of the continuous space within the vesicle) alternating with spaces partly filled with dense material (pores). These structures are shown to resemble closely, the nuclear envelope.Keywords
