Transmission electron photomicrograph. (a) Normal control hepatocyte demonstrating average cytoplasmic structures. N = nucleus; n = nucleolus; m = mitochondria; g = glycogen rosettes; rER = rough endoplasmic reticulum; sER = smooth endoplasmic reticulum; v = vacuole. (b) MSCs loaded with electron dense SPIO particles (arrow) inserted between the hepatocytes and adjacent to the liver sinusoids. (c) Higher magnification of MSCs loaded with SPIO particles. (d) High power of mitochondria in MSCs revealing SPIO dense particles of different sizes in its matrix (lead citrate–uranyl acetate stain; mic. mag.: (a) 5000×, (b) 2000×, (c) 3000×, and (d) 10000×).
