Description

Figures 264 (upper) and 265 (lower) from Chapter 8 (Lysosomes) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Lysosomes apparent in thin sections from liver tissue of hamster treated with phenobarbitol. Primary lysosomes have dense homogeneous content, but the majority of the membrane-bounded dense bodies in the accompanying figures are secondary lysosomes. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
