Equatorial X-ray diffraction patterns have been studied from muscles at rest, during contraction and in rigor. It is confirmed that the relative intensity (I 1, 0 I 1, 1) of the two main equatorial reflections depends both on the sarcomere length and on the state of the muscle; in any one state the ratio I 1, 0 I 1, 1 increases as the sarcomere length of the muscle increases, while at any fixed sarcomere length the ratio is smaller for contracting muscle than for resting muscle and smaller still for rigor muscles. The change of I 1, 0 I 1, 1 with change of state at constant sarcomere length is interpreted as being due to radial movement of cross-bridges: the average movement during contraction being about 40% of that in rigor. Over the whole range of sarcomere length studied (between 1.8 and 2.7 μm) there was no evidence for any change in lattice spacing when a muscle contracts isometrically. Muscles were studied generating tension after they had shortened actively against a load. The lattice spacings and intensity ratio I 1, 0 I 1, 1 both changed during active shortening in a way entirely consistent with the sliding filament theory of contraction.
