The Architecture of Life

The basic unit of life –the cell –could not be studied in detail until recently. The electron microscope first enabled man actually to see its delicate construction. This program deals with a detailed description of the structure of a cell, and an analysis of the role each part plays in maintaining life. Dr. Saltman shows films of cells dividing, and photographs taken under the strong magnification of an electron microscope.
