Description

Transmission electron micrograph of Leydig cell nucleus from the domestic boar contains a region (arrow) thought to represent the single X chromosome which is largely heterochromatic. The chromosome is closely associated with the prominent nucleolus. Figure 137 from Chapter 4 (Nucleus) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the corresponding chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
