  • 1 n order to review the contradictory statements on the ultrast ructure of the nuclear envelope, a study was undertaken combining section and negat ive stai ning electron microscopy on manually isolated oocyte nuclei and nuclear envelopes from six amphibian species including Anura as well as Urodela. The a ppeara nce of the negatively stained iso lated nuclear envelopes is described in deta il and the dependence on the preparation co nditions used is emphas ized .

The a ppeara nce of the negatively stained iso lated nuclear envelopes is described in deta il and the dependence on the preparation co nditions used is emphas ized . Pore complex structures such as pore perimeter, central granule, an nul ar components, interna l fibrils, and annu lus-attached fibrils could be identified by both techniques, negat ive staining and sect ions. Comparative studies show that no marked diffe rences ex ist in the structural data of the nuclear envelope among the investigated amphibians and the significance of the structural components is discussed. A model of the nuclea r pore complex based on the findings of the present investigation is prese nted.show moreshow less
