A high magnification image of a nemaline rod closely associated with an adjacent Z-line showing its substructure and osmiophilia. Nemaline rods exhibit a highly organized crystalline lattice-like structure. In longitudinal sections, they show axial periodicity (roughly 8–10 nm) and striations both parallel and perpendicular to the long axis. (electron micrographs)
