MORPHOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF GOLDFISH ERYTHROPHORES AND THEIR PTERINOSOMES
- J. Matsumoto, M. Obika
- Biology, Medicine
- The Journal of cell biology
- 1 November 1968
The fine structure of integumental erythrophores and the intracellular location of pteridine and carotenoid pigments in adult goldfish, Carassius auratus, were studied by means of cytochemistry,… Expand
Formation of pterinosomes and carotenoid granules in xanthophores of the teleost Oryzias latipes as revealed by the rapid-freezing and freeze-substitution method
- M. Obika
- Biology
- Cell and Tissue Research
- 2004
SummaryThe rapid-freezing and freeze-substitution method was applied for the ultrastructural study of the dermal chromatophores of a teleost, Oryzias latipes. The method was found to be suitable for… Expand
Light sensitivity of melanophores in neural crest explants
