Figure 368 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A microbody or peroxisome from a cell in a leaf of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). Crystals within micr...

High resolution image of a myoneme of Opercularia coarctata. Such fibrous bundles are known to be composed of centrin, a filament that contracts when exposed to calcium. The ER is closely associated w...

A myoneme of Opercularia coarctata. Such fibrous bundles are known to be composed of centrin, a filament that contracts when exposed to calcium. The ER is closely associated with the myonemes and send...

Peroxisomes in cultured rat hepatocytes have proliferated under treatment with 4-phenylbutyrate. The animal was transgenic for PPARalpha -/-, so phenyl butyrate acts without the PPAR receptor.

Five peroxisomes in a liver parenchymal cell are labeled with gold particles for alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase. Several mitochondria are also shown that are unlabeled. Open spaces contained glyc...

Many oval peroxisomes can be seen in normal cytotrophoblast cells of first trimester chorionic villus. The cytotrophoblast also contains glycogen particles, isolated and in flakes, which distinguish ...

The cytochrome oxidase reaction product differs markedly between liver cells and between individual mitochondria. This patient has a mutation in mt DNA, resulting in a mosaic distribution of cytochrom...

Peroxisomes in human parenchymal liver cell, contrasted for catalase activity. Reaction product typically differs between individual organelles. Several mitochondria are seen, as well as many dark gl...

Peroxisomes proliferating under treatment with nafenopin over 17 days. Reaction product differs between adjacent organelles giving evidence that their content (catalase) is not freely exchanged, as pr...

Peroxisomes in duodenal epithelial cells proliferate under treatment of oral phytol (a component of chlorophyll) over the course of 3 days. Phytol is oxidized to phytanic acid and pristanic acid, whi...
