Nucleolus
This EM shows the subdivisions of the nucleolus. The palest region, the fibrillar center, contains the nucleolar organizing regions of multiple chromosomes; the pars fibrosa (dense fibrillar component) contains the newly transcribed rRNA; and the pars granulosa contains maturing ribosomes. This nucleolus is partially surrounded by perinucleolar heterochromatin. 35,000x
