Fig. 23: association of peroxisomes with a lipid body

Peroxisomes (per) are sometimes associated with lipid bodies (lip) as they are in this example. This cell was pretreated with 4% DMSO which increases the permeability of its membranes. Thus the peroxisomes are strongly stained following hydrogen peroxide and diaminobenzidine incubation. EM taken on 4/7/83 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM. Neg. 12,250X. Bar = 0.5µm.
