Description

Figure 274 from Chapter 8 (Lysosomes) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Lysosomes in interstitial Leydig cells of the testis from the domestic boar, Sus scrofa. The laminar inclusions apparent in these lysosomes are common in steroid-secreting cells. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
