Description
Collagen fibrils in the basal plate of Fundulus heteroclitus scales. The basal plate is made of thick collagen fibrils about 100 nm in diameter, which are organized into a plywood-like structure. Note the changing orientation of the collagen fibrils at every layer of fibrils. During formation of this plywood-like organization, collagen fibrils are synthesized in a direction that is approximately perpendicular to the preceding ply. These well-defined layers of collagen constitute the stratum compactum of the dermis of Fundulus heteroclitus.
