Lipid droplets

This electron micrograph shows lipid droplets of varying sizes, which often coalesce into larger droplets. Lipid droplets contain neutral lipids, triglycerides and cholesterol esters, and are not surrounded by a unit membrane. Osmium tetroxide is routinely used to fix tissues for electron microscopy and its presence also imparts a grainy appearance with moderate electron density. Liver 15,000x
