Description
Transmission electron micrograph of two cells
within the corneal stroma. The cell on the left is
a monocyte which contains numerous organelles. A
large nucleus is visible towards the bottom of the
cell and a number of mitochondria can also be
seen. Two centrioles are also visible towards the
centre left of the cell and a Golgi apparatus
towards the centre right. The keratocyte on the
right has a large nucleus with a prominant
nucleolus. Both cells are surrounded by type VI
collagen matrix.
