 AB    The treatment with ferriosmium of meronts and sporonts of the
       microsporidian Enterocytozoon bieneusi has shown the lamellar
       organization of the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and of the
       nuclear envelope. The Electron Spectroscopy Imaging (ESI), (Ottensmeyer
       and Andrew 1980) of unstained ultrathin sections of meronts showed the
       presence of phosphorus in the lamellar structures thus confirming their
       phospholipidic composition. Phosphorus was also detected in the lamellar
       polaroplast of the spore.
