Nissl substance

A unique distribution of RER and polysomes occurs in neurons where they collectively form Nissl bodies. By light microscopy (left), Nissl bodies are visible as highly basophilic masses in the cytoplasm. By electron microscopy (right), they can be seen to consist of parallel stacks of RER cisterns with polysomes between them. This type of association is found only in neurons. 1000x (l), 5000x
