Abstract
IN the course of an investigation of the composition of certain aqueous extracts of tissues from the bean root, the material was examined in an electron microscope. Small spherical granules, slightly smaller in size than the microsomes described by Claude1, Brachet and Jeener2, and Stern3, were detected. The size of the particles varied with the maturity of the tissue from which they were taken.
