Description

Figure 368 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A microbody or peroxisome from a cell in a leaf of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). Crystals within microbodies, or peroxisomes, are common, and these organelles appear in plant, as well as animal, cells. Image from Frederick, S.E., Newcomb, E.H., Science 163:1353, 1969; copyright held by AAAS. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
