Lipid droplets

This electron micrograph shows a cell whose cytoplasm contains numerous lipid droplets. Lipid droplets are bounded by a single monolayer of phospholipids, not a unit membrane, and often coalesce into larger droplets. The droplet is coated by proteins that regulate lipid mobilization. 6000x
