Notes:
Summary Optical diffraction analysis was carried out on crystalline inclusions in the rough endoplasmic reticulum of the insulin and somatostatin cells in the islet organ of the hagfish. A striking difference in crystalline arrangement was observed between the inclusions of the insulin and somatostatin cells. The crystallographic arrangement of the inclusions observed in situ in the insulin cells differed from that previously found by means of X-ray diffraction analyses of hagfish insulin crystals formed in vitro.
