Figure 6

Sub-tomogram averaging of a TEM tomogram acquired of a Corpora amylacea reveals the presence of lipid membranes. (a) Z-orthoslice from a tomogram of CA, and YZ-orthoslice (red box). Brown dots indicate the structures selected within the tomogram for averaging. Blue meshes display the 3D triangulation for some of the selected structures. (b) Top view and (c) side view of the sampled structures after sub-tomogram averaging, revealing a membrane structure and the outer regions of the two lipid bilayer leaflets. (d) YZ-orthoslice of the tomogram showing the presence, continuity and torsion of the membranes throughout the tomogram. Data correspond to SNpc of donor C as shown in Supplementary Fig. S9f and Supplementary Movie 4. Scale bar = 200 nm.
