Inside the Cell
Animations, Movies and Interactives
Golgi Movie I*
Slices of a insulin-secreting cell viewed in series create a virtual journey through a microscopic world of organelles.
Golgi Movie II*
This movie through a insulin-secreting cell gives a sense of the three-dimensional shapes of Golgi compartments.
Golgi Movie III*
Golgi compartments appear close-up in this movie.
Golgi Movie IV**
This movie conveys how packed cells are. The chunk of a insulin-secreting cell shown here is crammed with Golgi compartments (long, multi-colored curves in center), endoplasmic reticulum (yellow structures), ribosomes (tiny orange dots), microtubules (thin green strands), mitochondria (green globs), and various kinds of vesicles (small white spheres, larger blue spheres, and irregularly shaped structures in red and purple).
