Sample length, µm | Particle density per µm | Sample length, µm | Particle density per µm | |
Hair-cell membrane | 45.1 | 0.24±0.059 | 62.3 | 0.88±0.058 |
Calyx inner membrane | 45.1 | 0.22±0.060 | 62.3 | 0.91±0.29 |
Calyx outer membrane | 64.1 | 0.11±0.026 | 51.9 | 0.038±0.017 |
Hair-cell cytoplasm | 11753* | 0.004±0.0005 | 9385* | 0.002±.0007 |
Calyx cytoplasm | 19370* | 0.001±0.0003 | 17537* | 0.001±0.0004 |
Sample lengths, total of five sections for each transporter. Particle density ± SE is based on a regression passing through zero between the sample length and the number of particles for each of the five samples.
For the cytoplasm samples, length is multiplied by 0.05 µm to get the sample area.
