Electron micrographs of microglial cell bodies found in the hilus of the dentate gyrus. A shows a peri-neuronal Iba1-labeled cell body, with the Nissl body (large arrow) of a nearby neuron (N) located close to this microglial cell’s plasma membrane. B is an enlargement of the microglial cell body. Note the inclusion bodies (asterisks) and a prominent centrosome (white arrow) within its perikaryon. In C, a dark band of Iba1 immunoreaction product (white arrows) is observed surrounding the cell nucleus (N) of another microglial cell. Most of the dense heterochromatin within the nucleus is found near the nuclear envelope. Two Iba1-labeled profiles (black arrows) appear in the neuropil. D is an Iba1-labeled cell body with a boot-shaped nucleus (N), a triangular-shaped cell body, and multiple inclusion bodies (asterisks). Scale bars = 2 μm for A and 1 μm for B–D.
