Membranes
The plasma membrane is the unique membrane surrounding the cell. A single membrane cannot be resolved by the light microscope and thus the prominent line visible between adjacent cells represents the plasma membranes of each cell, as well as intercellular space, cytoskeletal elements, and proteins associated with the membrane.
