Description

Transmission electron micrograph of a thin section of guinea pig pancreas showing a high magnification view of rough (granular) endoplasmic reticulum. Membrane-bounded cisternae are studded with ribsomes which, in favorable views show a cleft between the large and small subunits, with the large subunit connecting the membrane.

Technical Details

Original 3.25 in. x 4 in. lantern slides were scanned at 600dpi.
