N Lines in Striated Muscle: a Site of Intracellular Ca2+

Abstract

PYROANTIMONATE in osmium penetrates intact cell membranes and produces electron dense precipitates by combining with several intracellular cations1,2. The pyroantimonate technique provides a useful, method for ultrastructural studies on the N lines of muscle.
