| Abstract | Cultured fibroblasts or epithelial cells derived from Xenopus laevis embryos were directly frozen, freeze-substituted by an improved method, and then either critical-point-dried and viewed as whole mounts, or embedded and thin sectioned. In thin regions of these cells, where ice crystal artifacts are absent, the cytoplasm consisted of a dense, highly interconnected meshwork of filaments, embedded in a finely granular ground substance. The meshwork in directly frozen, intact cells was compared with that in cells that were lysed (physically, with detergents, or with filipin), or fixed with glutaraldehyde before freezing. Although filaments tended to be less numerous in lysed cells, their overall organization was the same as that in intact cells. However, fixation with glutaraldehyde before freezing distorted the meshwork to variable degrees depending on the osmolarity of the fixation buffer, and also obscured the granular ground substance which is obvious in directly frozen cells. With optimal preparative methods, the cytoplasm of these directly frozen cells is shown to consist of a cytoskeleton composed of discrete interwoven filaments interconnected by numerous finer filaments and a readily extractable granular matrix which presumably represents aggregations of cytoplasmic proteins. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
