Abstract A set of six biological membranes has been examined electron microscopically in positively-stained sections at both low and high resolution. At low resolution, all six membranes exhibit a “railroad track” pattern, while at high resolution all six membranes exhibit a pattern of a double-tier of globular “particles”. The correspondence between the railroad track pattern and the double-tiered pattern is considered. The relationship of the double-tiered pattern to the bimodal properties of the constituent protein and phospholipid molecules is discussed.
