EFTEM map of chromatin
and surrounding nucleoplasm. DNA and RNA is yellow,
protein is red. The RNA is predominantly found in the
smaller granular structures.
EFTEM map of chromatin
and surrounding nucleoplasm. HeLa cell imaged at
20,000X.
EFTEM map at 50,000X.
The small granular RNA is more evident. The chromatin
concentrates in larger fibers comprised of 10 and 30
nm chromatin fibers.
