Fig. 27: secondary lysosomes around a crystal

This micrograph shows a crystal surrounded with secondary lysosomes (ly). This was taken from a cell returned to growth medium following starvation for several days (0 day of rejuvenation). This could represent either fusion of lysosomes with a growing crystal or reformation of secondary lysosomes from a crystal when the cell has been returned to a culture with an abundant food supply. EM taken on 2/12/81 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM. Neg. 12,750X. Bar = 0.5µm.
