Cryogenic electron tomography of nuclear pore complexes. (A) Slice through a tomogram showing the nucleus of a midgut sporozoite with arrows indicating the location of two nuclear pore complexes. Enlarged images in the coloured outtakes indicate the flattening of the nuclear membrane at the NPCs. Scale bars: 300 nm (large image), 50 nm (small images). (B) Part of a midgut sporozoite nucleus with one nuclear pore indicated with a red arrowhead. The other arrowheads indicate the inner (yellow) and outer (pale red) leaflet of the nuclear envelope, the inner membrane complex (green) and the plasma membrane (blue) of the sporozoite. Scale bar: 300 nm. The inset shows the NPC in stronger contrast.
