Scanning electron micrographs of toroid fusion. Toroids were cultured for 48 h, and allowed to fuse around a peg, and then fixed approximately 12 h (A, B) and 72 h (C, D) after initial fusion. An obvious furrow is observed throughout between initially distinct toroids after 12 h, and appears as a coherent tissue after 72 h.
