Fig. 1. Transmission electron microscopy of fibrillin-rich microfibrils and elastic fibres. (A) Human ciliary zonular microfibrils in loose, roughly parallel arrays. (B) Lobster aorta microfibrils, showing periodic striations. (C) Deposition of microfibrils and elastin by cultured bovine nuchal ligament fibroblasts. (D) Close-up of elastic fibres forming in bovine nuchal ligament fibroblast cultures. (E) Internal elastic lamina (IEL) of murine aorta, with associated endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC).
