Imaging of the subsurface structures of “unroofed” Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes

•The 3D structures of Maurer's clefts (MCs) were detected by unroofing methods and TEM.•MCs have a global/oval shape involving filamentous extensions, blebs and small vesicles.•Diameters of filamentous extension were
