Distribution of total calcium in a PC12 pheochromocytoma cell, as revealed by electron energy loss imaging analysis. The calcium signal, expressed in false colors, is superimposed on a conventional image from a thin section of a quick frozen–freeze dried cell, including a mitochondrion and a few parallel running ER cisternae. Notice the calcium-rich ER cisternae in continuity with other cisternae where the signal remains below threshold, as it is the case with the mitochondrion and the plasmalemma.
