Summary In this paper we report that Tween-20 (polyoxethylene sorbitan monolaurate) preferentially disrupts granal thylakoids along their lateral margins. With this disruption the adherent, partition membranes are released and do not tend to vesiculate. The opening of grana at the margins permits the entry of binding agents, such as cationic ferritin, to label the internal, locular surface of the granal thylakoids.
