Light and electron microscopic studies of Wolffia arrhiza L. frond development during vegetative reproduction showed that the fronds were composed entirely of chlorenchymous cells. Chloroplasts in the epidermal cells other than the guard cells were unique in that they contained no starch. Cell division occurred only at the proximal end of daughter fronds early in their development. Meristematic cells contained chloroplasts with clearly defined grana. Proplastids, commonly observed in meristematic cells of apical regions of other plants, were absent in the cells of these plants.

It has been shown that a single injection of 8.0 mg/kg of the cis (Pt(NH3)2cl2) in normal saline is effective in regressing solid Sarcoma-180 tumors in Swiss White mice, with no apparent irreversible damage to the host. Present investigations were undertaken to study the fine structure of Sarcoma-180 under experimental and control conditions. Platinum injections were made on day 10, (taking the tumor implant as day 0), and the animals were sacrificed at 2 day intervals for 12 days after the injections. The tissue from injected and uninjected animals was processed for electron microscopic studies.

Neurons in the central nervous system are separated by extracellular spaces, the distribution, composition and function of which are not unequivocally known. Earlier electron microscopic studies of chemically-fixed tissues demonstrated extracellular spaces composed of uniformly narrow, apparently empty channels constituting 3-5% of the brain volume. The results of more recent morphological and non-morphological studies support the existence of less uniform intercellular channels, varying in dimension from 100 Å to almost 1 μ, and constituting 20-25% of the brain volume. Although this space is not revealed in electron micrographs of chemicallyfixed nervous tissues, it is demonstrated readily in specimens fixed by freeze-drying or freeze-substitution (Fig. 1). The dynamic nature of those extracellular spaces, as visualized in electron micrographs of nervous tissue fixed by freeze-substitution, was demonstrated in studies of normalbrain maturation. An extracellular space of 40% became gradually smaller as development proceeded to reach the smaller extracellular space characteristic of mature animals.
