June 2010
Thin section EM is used to visualize platelet ultrastructures such as alpha granules and inclusions. For this case, the alpha granules are markedly decreased, the empty space was taken up by increased dense tubular network. There are no aberrant inclusions, structures or increased golgi complex.
