Abstrakt: Platelets impregnated with heavy metals appeared as 3 distinct morphological types: 'reticular' cells with a polygonal dense tubular network and stained granules, dark metallophilic cells, and pale metallophobic cells with microvesicles and non-staining granules. On stimulation, type 1 cells decreased while type 3 cells increased, suggesting that with activation dense tubules break up into microvesicles and granules become metallophobic. In the type 2 cells a different functional mechanism may exist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
