Abstract
When electron microscopy was a young discipline, excitement over newly discovered structures was universal. Descriptive names could not be coined fast enough. Many of them were cumbersome, aiming to be accurate and biochemically noncommittal. Questions of artifact were a constant challenge. Part of the legacy of that era are such terms as "ribosome-lamella complexes," "parallel tubular arrays," "annulate lamellae," "multivesicular bodies," and "tubuloreticular structures," to mention only a few that are relevant to human lymphocytes. These terms have withstood both the test of time and improvements in preparatory techniques. Some of them have taken on more meaning since their introduction. . . .Keywords
