title: CIL:19116, Spiroplasma kunkelii, Zea mays, plant cell, prokaryotic cell. In Cell Image Library

description: Electron micrograph of corn stunt spiroplasma (CSS, Spiroplasma kunkelii, Class Mollicutes) in sieve elements and other phloem cells of infected maize leaves. CIL:12578, from the same image group, is an unlabeled version of this image. CSS is a wall-less procaryote that causes corn stunt disease and is biologically transmitted by some leafhopper species, e.g. Dalbulus maidis and D. gelbus (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae). Spiroplasma cells are limited by a unit membrane with no cell wall. They can be quasi-spherical, pleiomorphic or maintain a filamentous/spiral form. CSS multiplies in both plant and insect hosts and is transmitted with salivary secretions during feeding of the vector on new host plants. Additional images are available by this contributor.
description: Detailed methods: Tissue was processed for TEM by fixation in glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide, embedded in Spurr's medium. Thin sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and examined by a Philips-201 TEM (non-digital camera). Negatives were scanned later to generate these electronic files. Abbreviations: cy = cytoplasm, m = mitochondrion, S = CSS, w = cell wall.

description: Terminal Bulb is a dataset of DIC (differential interference contrast) 20x microscopy images of the pharynx terminal bulb of C. elegans at different ages (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 days). Note that the data sets for each age can be found by searching for a featured image from each set: CIL 1587, 1694, 1905, 2213, 2622, 2544, and 2606, respectively.

title: CIL: 50750, Drosophila melanogaster. In Cell Image Library

description: Specimen preparation: Larval brains (LBs) were prepared from starved (amino acid-restricted) first instar (L1) larvae to enrich for quiescent neural stem cells. The LBs were glutaraldehyde-fixed, tannic acid and OsO4-stained, embedded in resin, thin-sectioned (60-70 nm) and stained with uranyl acetate/lead citrate, then observed by TEM.
description: We show in this study that brain and intestinal stem cells of Drosophila contain a new type of cytoplasmic protrusion which is enriched in mitochondria and that the mitochondria are probably dependent on microtubules for their distribution. The protrusions form mitochondria-enriched cytoplasmic bridges from the stem cells to their niche that we speculate are important in regulating stem cell quiescence and activation.
