Giant pigment granules in dermal melanocytes of rat scrotal skin

M E Glimcher et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Giant melanosomes, ellipsoidal (1.5 micron X 1.3 micron) or spherical (1.1 micron-1.4 micron in diameter) exist in the scrotal skin of the black pelted Long Evans rat. They are longer and wider than normal stage IV melanosomes (0.7 micron X 0.4 micron) found in these dermal melanocytes.
