Description

Transmission electron micrographs of Opossum spermatogonia showing different regions within the nucleolus. One region is more lightly staining and fine textured, the other denser and more coarsely textured.

Technical Details

These images are figures 132 (upper) and 133 (lower) from Chapter 4 (Nucleus) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the corresponding chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
