Centrioles
Centrioles are composed of microtubules arranged as nine triplets forming a cylinder. In this electron micrograph of an interphase cell, two centrioles, oriented at right angles to each other, form the diplosome. The region of the cytoplasm where the diplosome is located is called the centrosome or MTOC. Note its close association with the Golgi. 40,000x
