Monocyte Electron Micrograph

This electron micrograph illustrates the salient features of a circulating monocyte.

• A myriad of variably dense lysosomal granules (Ly) is present.
• The Golgi zone (G) is small, but well developed; its external limits are demarcated by the dotted line.
• Rough-surfaced ER (Get, rough endoplasmic reticulum),many channels of which are dilated by electron-opaque secretory material, is abundant.
• Mitochondria (M) are distributed randomly.
• A narrow but distinct zone of ectoplasm (Ect)rings the cell and continues into pseudopodia (Ps).
• Neighboring cells (Th) are thrombocytes.
