Direct demonstration of the helical nature of paramyosin filaments

Abstract
A method is described by which the front and rear sides of a paramyosin filament can both be shadowed with a platinum-palladium alloy. An electron micrograph of such a filament shows the structure on both sides. A symmetrical cross, indicative of a helical arrangement is seen in the optical diffraction photograph made from the micrograph.
