Plasma cell
Plasma cells have distinctive features that are clearly seen in this electron micrograph: a prominent Golgi; well developed rough endoplasmic reticulum; and a nucleus with large clumps of heterochromatin at the margin of the nucleus (clock-face nucleus). Compare these features with the high magnification light microscopic inset. Plasma cells are derived from B lymphocytes and produce antibodies. 8,000x
