We constructed a new centrifuge microscope of the stroboscopic type, with which the cytoplasmic streaming inNitellainternodal cells under centrifugal acceleration was studied. Under moderate centrifugal acceleration (ca. 50–100×g), the direction of cytoplasmic streaming in an internodal cell ofNitellais parallel to the direction of the subcortical fibrils. The speed of endoplasm flowing contiguous to the subcortical fibrils is neither accelerated nor retarded by moderate centrifugal acceleration. The endoplasmic flow, however, stops suddenly following an electrical stimulus. The endoplasm contiguous to the subcortical fibrils is immobilized transiently at the time of streaming cessation induced by an electrical stimulus under centrifugal acceleration at 50–100×g, even at 900×g. It is suggested that transitory cross bridges between the immobilized endoplasm and the subcortical fibrils are formed at the time of streaming cessation. The bulk endoplasm flows as a whole in the direction parallel to that of the subcortical fibrils and stops promptly upon electrical stimulation. Soon after the stoppage the bulk endoplasm starts to flow passively in the direction parallel to that of the centrifugal acceleration as a result of the centrifugal force.
