Stratum spinosum
This electron micrograph shows the upper portion of the stratum spinosum, the stratum granulosum and the stratum corneum. Also visible is a Langerhans cell, a dendritic macrophage functioning in local immune responses. Cells of the stratum spinosum synthesize lamellar bodies as well as the components of keratohyalin granules. Small to medium-sized keratohyalin granules are visible in the stratum granulosum just beneath the stratum corneum. 4000x
