Description
TEM image of epon section of a freeze-substituted mouse retina illustrating the unusual distribution of heterochromatin in rod receptor nuclei where the compact heterochromatin is centrally located. Within the heterochromatin, two regions were identified, and inner 'smooth' mass (smo), and an outer 'granular compartment (gra), each with a distinct optical diffraction pattern (see inserts).
