[Ultrastructural aspects of collagen].
Collagen knowledge is relevant to the combination of three technologies: biochemistry, crystallography and ultra-structural studies. Its fibrillar nature has been early recognised by electron microscopy. The author presents the various ultra-structural aspects of collagen according to the various known types. Fibrillar, micro-fibrillar structures are described as well as basement membranes.
