This micrograph, parts of which have been seen before, is an hepatocyte nucleus which is in the early stages of demise (untreated CoS14 ko without rescue). The nucleolus is large, and has two cajal type bodies (one seen here) and fibrillar centers with fairly large densities within (of approximately 90 nm diameter). I have given these sizes (relative to a ribosome size red dot approximately 27 nm (lower right hand side of micrograph labeled as such). The granules within the granular portion of the nucleolus (as well as the banding patterns found on cajal bodies) is something around 23 nm. What I presume to be perichromatin granules look to be about 50 nm. The large dense bodies within the fibrilar centers are a little unusual.

Unreal 3D views of the cell (bacterial cell)
This is really awesome stuff, and I realize how many tens of thousands of scientists, maybe millions of them, making small contributions to the massive amounts of data on the cell and how it is organized, can be culled and analyzed to produce something like this. Here is the article on modeling, which they call “easy”… haha.
Quintessential Ugly American
This is no one i voted for, even the grimace on his face while pushing aside another diplomat is one of self-aggrandizing egotistical narcissism, and the next views of his “there – i am first” visage made know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was the quintessential ugly american. I am embarrassed beyond belief. Screen shots are from clips from this URL.
