| Abstract: | Summary Electron microscope studies on collagen from rat-tail tendon using a negative staining technique have indicated the presence of filaments 15–20 Å in diameter within the fibres. These filaments are thought to correspond to the collagen macromolecule.We would like to thank Prof. R. A. McCance for supplying the specimens of fowl tendon used in this investigation, and Dr. F. H. C. Crick, Dr. S. Fitton-Jackson and Dr. T. Gillman for a number of valuable discussions. One of us (W. J. T.) wishes to thank the Medical Research Council for financial support during this work. |
