Figure 1
Electron micrograph of a HeLa cell platinum replica after detergent extraction, fixation, and critical-point drying. The density of the cytoskeletal network is apparent. A cartoon of myosin V and a 20 nm Qdot are drawn approximately to scale. The dashed ovals with question marks indicate possible myosin V molecules in the cell. The electron micrograph was provided by Dr. Tatyana Svitkina (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA).
