Notes

Almost identical in content to the 1955 Abercrombie and Ambrose film 'Cells in Culture'; this film is better quality (less magenta). The films are synchronous for approximately the first 3 minutes 30 seconds then divert to streaming of packed group cells (1955) and formation of contacts (1958). At 6 minutes 32 seconds/9 minutes 30 seconds the films resynch at the mouse muscle sequence and then later digress. The later 1958 film has the additional section on the epithelium.
