    Three-dimensional reconstruction of a tubular matrix in a thin section of the peripheral endoplasmic reticulum between the plasma membranes of the cell.
    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a continuous membrane that extends like a net from the envelope of the nucleus outward to the cell membrane. The ER plays several roles within the cell, such as in protein and lipid synthesis and transport of materials between organelles.
    Shown here are super-resolution microscopic images of the peripheral ER showing the structure of an ER tubular matrix between the plasma membranes of the cell. See image 5857 for a more detailed view of the area outlined in white in this image. For another view of the ER tubular matrix see image 5855
