Abstract
THE use of the electron microscope has facilitated more detailed investigation of cell membrane activities than specificity. was previously possible. Among these activities are pinocytosis, micropinocytosis, rhopheocytosis, phagocytosis and desmosome formation. This communication reports some interesting changes which were observed contact with micro-organisms.
