Description
Transmission electron micrograph of a
polymorphonuclear leucocyte in the mid-corneal
stroma. 3 large lobes of the nucleus can be seen
as can numerous small dark granules. A Golgi
apparatus in the centre of the cell is also
present, as well as a phagosome at the top end of
the cell. The connective tissue around the cell is
composed of layers of collagen fibrils. The cell
is approximately 17 microns long.
