Thin sections of striated muscle from frog (sartorius), rabbit (psoas) rat (heart muscle) fly (flight muscle) and of smooth muscle from clam (adductor) were examined in the electron microscope; 10 illus. are presented. The sections were 200-400 A in thickness and permitted a resolution of 30-40 A. In fly flight muscle, the myofilbrils appeared as distinct and well-separated morph. units, but in frog and rabbit muscle they were so closely packed under normal conditions that their identity as separate units was almost lost. In all types of striated muscle examined, the filaments were arranged within the myofibrils in a continuous and highly regular hexagonal array. The diam. of the filaments seen here was smaller than that observed in dried, shadowed material, but an appreciable quantity of material was present between the filaments. The 400 A axial period seen in frog and rabbit skeletal muscle and in rat heart muscle appeared to extend across the interstitial material between the filaments. The significance of these results is discussed.
