Fig. 2. Electron micrographs of intramandibular gland cells in minor workers. A. Low magnification view of upper secretory cells (SC), illustrating the highly vacuolar cytoplasm. B. Lower secretory cells and adjoining ducts (D), showing well-developed granular endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and Golgi apparatus (GA). C. Detail of upper secretory cells with sections through end apparatus (EA) and lamellar bodies (LB). D. Cytoplasmic detail of upper secretory cell with granular endoplasmic reticulum (RER), Golgi apparatus (GA) and mitochondria (M). ct: cuticle, Nd: nucleus duct cell, Ns: nucleus secretory cell.
