Title: Osteocyte 1
Description:
Electron micrograph of a quiescent osteocyte of a rabbit in the process of desmal ossification. Note the nucleus with a conspicuous nucleolus. The cell is located in a lacuna with canaliculi (1). The cell is embedded in a layer of collagen fibrils (2). No hydroxyapatite crystals are present due the decalcifications procedures for the required technical implementation for electron microscopy. The osteocyte is regarded to be in a post-quiescent stage, it has still the distinct osmiophilic lamina (3) close to the cell membrane but the amount of mitochondria and RER profiles appears distinct.
