Description
Transmission electron micrograph showing a mast
cell invading the central cornea of a patient with
a corneal ulcer. The cell is surrounded by layers
of collagen fibrils containing some lipid
accumulation. The cell's nucleus is at the
top of the cell and below are a number of
heparin/histamine-containing cytoplasmic granules
and mitochondria. The field is approximately 11
microns across.
