Image of Cells Endocytizing Particles
Endocytosis of crystalline Ni3S2 particles. Images were recorded on videotape at 18/1 time lapse and photographs of the film were taken with Polaroid film. The total time lapse from images 3A-3H is 12 minutes. Ni3S2 particles appear white under phase contrast in these images. In 3a (0min) two particles are bound to the CHO cell surface. In panels A (0 min), E (6 min), and H (12 min) the particle indicated by the white long arrow is endocytized over the time course while the particle indicated by the white short arrow remains affixed to the cell surface.
