    show more
    Description: This is an electron microscopic (EM) image of Leishmania major amastigotes grown in cell culture. Note the dense kinetoplasts in the cytoplasm. Amastigotes of Leishmania are spherical to ovoid and measure 1-5 µm long by 1-2 µm wide. They possess a large nucleus, a prominent kinetoplast, and a short axoneme, the last of which is rarely visible by light microscopy. The organisms reside in macrophages of the host and can be found throughout the body.
