Secondary lysosomes dock only with phagoacidosome membrane at a
distance of 40nm. As during acidosome fusion with phagosomes, fusion
of the many lysosomes with the phagoacidosome occurs at nearly the
same time. Some small vesicles can be found close to the lysosomal
surface (arrowheads). Such small vesicles might represent
primary lysosomes originating from Golgi complexes, such as the coated
vesicle (arrow) in the upper left corner of this micrograph
might suggest. EM taken on 8/16/80 by R. Allen with Hitachi HU11A TEM.
