Blood: Neutrophil
This electron micrograph shows a neutrophil that has migrated into connective tissue. The neutrophil contains specific granules, as well as nonspecific, azurophilic granules, which are lysosomes common to all granulocytes. Neutrophils are involved with destruction of phagocytosed matter, especially bacteria, and constitute the first line of defense in the body. 7000x
