| Figure 1 (Uranyl Acetate, Lead Citrate. Original
Magnification 2,500x) The nucleus (N) shows irregular
indentations and the heterochromatin is dispersed in
central and peripheral clumps. Stubby microvilli project
from the apices of the cell as well as the lateral aspect
and base. Cytoplasmic organelles consist of mitochondria,
rough endoplasmic reticulum and numerous polyribosomes.
Electron dense granules (arrowhead) and lamellar myelin
figures are surfactant granules in the cytoplasm of the
neoplastic Type II pneumocyte.
