ResumoVarious culture media for maintenance of the newt Ambystoma mexicanum macrophages were tested. Once the most suitable medium was found, the cultivated cells were photographed and filmed. These cells show special features in their cytoplasm, that were studied under both light and electron microscopes. These features included an apparent fluidification of certain portions of the cytoplasm, as seen with time-lapse cinematography and a marked orientation of cell inclusions and mitochondria. These observations are discussed in relation to pinocytosis.
