Figure 1 Transmission electron micrograph of a pit cell in a rat hepatic sinusoidal lumen (L).
The pit cell shows polarity with an eccentric nucleus. The cytoplasm is abundant and contains characteristic electr on-dense granules and other organelles lying mainly on one side of the nucleus. The cell contacts an endothelial cell (E) and a portion of a Kupffer cell (K) with a positive peroxidase reaction product in the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Bar = 1 μm.
