Description
Transmission electron micrograph of a section
through a phagocytic cell (macrophage) in the
vicinity of an autoimmune corneal ulcer. Around
the cell the stromal lamellar architecture is
disrupted and has been infiltrated by many
inflammatory cells. The cell contains many
lysosomes, a large lamellar body in the centre and
a phagosome at the bottom of the cell containing
ingested cellular debris. The cell in the bottom
left of the field is a plasma cell containing
mitochondria and Golgi apparatus.
