Summary

Description
English:
(Top) 10-nm-thick STEM tomographic slice of a lettuce chloroplast. Grana stacks are interconnected by unstacked stromal thylakoids, called “stroma lamellae”. Round inclusions associated with the thylakoids are plastoglobules. Scalebar = 200 nm. See [1] .
(Bottom) Large-scale 3D model generated from segmentation of tomographic reconstructions by STEM. grana = yellow; stroma lamellae = green; plastoglobules = purple; chloroplast envelope = blue. See [1] .
