Meisser's corpuscle

This image shows the dermal-epidermal junction with downwardly-directed epidermal pegs (ridges) and upwardly-directed dermal papilla. Meissner’s corpuscles are located at the apex of sensory dermal papillae and provide fine touch discrimination. Other dermal papillae, called vascular papillae, contain small blood vessels. 800x
