Plate LXI. Fig. 10. Compound cells of thymus
Magnified 378 diameters.
original text source for identification of "Hassall's corpuscles" within the thymus.
- "The "milky fluid" contained in the follicles and reservoir is made up, to a great extent, of an immense number of granular nuclei, as well as numerous cells of large size, which do not appear hitherto to have been either described or figured in a satisfactory manner, and which are probably to be regarded in the light of parent cells. (See Plate LXI. fig. 10.)
- Many of these cells contain several granular nuclei, each of which is surrounded by one or more concentric lamellae ; they thus resemble the cartilage cells found in the inter-vertebral substance, and also certain species of Microcystis, a genus of Fresh-water Algae."
Online Editor - This historic textbook figure is often cited as the original source for "Hassall's corpuscles" within the thymus. Note the reticular cells form an "onion-skin" arrangement of cytoplasmic layers.
