Summary

Cells (+gametes) of Chlamydomonas reinhardii were ultrasectioned serially, and electron micrographs were taken of complete cells. On this basis the model of one typical cell was constructed at a magnification of 36000x. The photographs of the model shown in this paper give a good impression of the architecture and organization of this unicellular organism. This is the first time, to our knowledge, that a whole green plant cell has been reconstructed on a uniform scale. The method of the construction is described.
