Abstract
A simple method for the three-dimensional observation of inner and outer ultrastructures of the cultured hepatocyte was presented. The freeze cracked plane of the cultured cell was obtained by means of cracking the underlying substrate. This method made it possible to observe the ultrastructural features of both cell surface and cytoplasm in the same cell. Among several substrates examined in this investigation, the collagen gel sheet was the most useful for this purpose.
