Zusammenfassung

Elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahmen von einfacher Filament-Lagen Mg-Pyrophosphaterschlaffter Fasern der dorsolongitudinalen Flugmuskulatur vonLethocerus spec. gleichen weitgehend dem Bild ATP-erschlaffter Muskeln. Optische Transformationen scheinen dagegen die Charakteristika von ATP-erschlafften Fasern und solchen, die sich im Rigor mortis befinden, zu kombinieren. Die Überführung der Fasern aus einer Mg-Pyrophosphat- in eine Rigor-Lösung stellte das Rigor-Muster wieder her.
