Description

Figure 389 from Chapter 15 (Cytoplasmic Inclusions) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. Secretory granules in an alpha cell of an islet of Langerhands in human pancreas. In this EM preparation, the dense core of the secretory vesicle is separated from the membrane, potentially an artifact of specimen preparation. Image by Arthur Like. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB’s BioEDUCATE website.
