Description

Figure 362 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Portions of two adipose cells and associated connective tissue from the epididymal fat pad of a rat. Newly synthesized lipid first forms small droplets in th peripheral layer of the cyoplasm (arrows) before merging with the large central drop. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
