Contents of cisternae in highly hydrated porcine skin. a: Cisternae (asterisks) frequently contain particulate matter. b: Agglomerated polydisperse spheres (or beads) attached through thin strings to form networks in a cisternae. Some beads are fused to the cisternal walls (white arrows), others attach to the cisternal walls through thin strings (black arrows). The beads may be disrupted lipids that have rearranged and formed multilamellar vesicles. c: High magnification image of globular structures in a cisternae.
