Electron microscopy analysis confirmed the identity of Merkel cells
Merkel cell (Merkel-Ranvier cell) integumentary (skin) receptor cell connected with somatosensory afferents.
- Ultrastructural analyses were carried out on cells from the enriched (Merkel cells) MC fraction.
- Up to half of the cells presented features characteristic of MCs:
- a polylobulated nucleus
- numerous typical dense-core granules in a clear cytoplasm.
Scale bar 5 µm (Stain - Osmium)
