Plasma cell
This very active plasma cell displays a characteristic nucleus containing peripherally located, coarsely clumped chromatin. Though not clearly visible in this image, the Golgi apparatus is present in the region of cytoplasm that is mostly devoid of rough endoplasmic reticulum. The widely distended cisternae of the rough endoplasmic reticulum indicate active protein synthesis. 10,000x
