Abstract:The three-dimensional structures of myeloid bodies (MBs) in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the frog (Rana pipiens) were studied by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. MBs were observed to be an assemblies of numerous membranous lamellae that were formed by a flattened saccule of the paired membranes in the RPE. On thin-section, they appeared as lenticular, crescentic, circular and spherical forms and were associated with adjacent smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) and nuclear membranes. The… Show more
