Nissl Body, TEM

Colour-enhanced Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of a section of a Nissl body showing free polysomes. A Nissl body is a large angular block of basophilic material, seen in neurons, composed of orderly arrays of cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. Nissl bodies are a site of protein synthesis.
