Glycogen
This binucleated liver cell (hepatocyte) possesses numerous organelles, as well as accumulations of glycogen granules. Glycogen granules, which are not enclosed by a membrane, are the storage form of glucose. Glycogen granules often aggregate in the cytoplasm and appear highly electron-dense in the electron microscope, as seen here. 7500x
