Description

Figure 385 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. The secretory granules from surface mucous cells of the guinea pig stomach are large and pleiomorphic. They are osmiophilic and thus have an intense black appearance, unusual for vesicles whose contents are rich in carbohydrates. Image by Dixon Hingson. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
