Description

Figures 379 (upper) and 380 (lower) from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Freeze substitution preparations of gerbil parotid gland show condensing vacuoles arising from the Golgi (arrows, upper panel). Both upper and lower figures show secretory granules with a dense core and lighter cortex. Image by Atsuchi Ichikawa. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
