Description

Low magnification electron micrograph showing peroxisomes in several parenchymal cells in human liver, contrasted by catalase activity with DAB. A few organelles show a heterogeneous content: they are lipofuscins, i.e. lysosomes. Very small granules are glycogen rosettes. Mitochondria are unstained and barely visible.

Technical Details

Prefixation in buffered formol-calcium, stained with DAB at pH 10.5, postfixed in OsO4 with ferrocyanide.
