Cytoplasmic as well as nucleoplasmic surfaces of the pore complexes (PC) could be observed using freeze-etching method. The density of PCs per 1 micron2 of nuclear envelope (NE) surface in regenerating liver (9.9) is twice as that in resting liver (5.3). 1 hour after 1200 R X-ray irradiation the pore density in regenerating liver decreases 5.8-fold, consisting only of 1.7 PCs per 1 micron2 of the NE. The structure of the PC after irradiation undergoes degradation and normal PCs practically disappear; only their "ghosts" remain. Peripheral and possibly central granules of the PC appear to consist of some subunits with their diameter of 4--5 nm. The central granule forms a channel through which RNA containing material may be transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The non-uniform state of the PC, observed on platinum-carbon replicas of cleaved nuclei, and the non-altered PC associate with the dense lamina of the NE, after detergent treatment of isolated nuclei indicate that the PC could be formed inside the nuclei and to be "inserted" into the NE membranes in the course of their processing.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009685 Nuclear Envelope The membrane system of the CELL NUCLEUS that surrounds the nucleoplasm. It consists of two concentric membranes separated by the perinuclear space. The structures of the envelope where it opens to the cytoplasm are called the nuclear pores (NUCLEAR PORE).

D005613 Freeze Etching A replica technique in which cells are frozen to a very low temperature and cracked with a knife blade to expose the interior surfaces of the cells or cell membranes. The cracked cell surfaces are then freeze-dried to expose their constituents. The surfaces are now ready for shadowing to be viewed using an electron microscope. This method differs from freeze-fracturing in that no cryoprotectant is used and, thus, allows for the sublimation of water during the freeze-drying process to etch the surfaces. Etching, Freeze

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014965 X-Rays Penetrating electromagnetic radiation emitted when the inner orbital electrons of an atom are excited and release radiant energy. X-ray wavelengths range from 1 pm to 10 nm. Hard X-rays are the higher energy, shorter wavelength X-rays. Soft x-rays or Grenz rays are less energetic and longer in wavelength. The short wavelength end of the X-ray spectrum overlaps the GAMMA RAYS wavelength range. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
