Abstract

THE recent communication by Törő and Oláh1 on nuclear blebs in the thymus of post-natal guinea pigs has prompted this report of similar observations on foetal human thymus glands. Small blocks of the thymus glands of hysterotomy foetuses measuring 55 mm, 76 mm, 140 mm, and 210 mm from crown to rump were fixed in Dalton's solution and prepared for electron microscopy. The material was sectioned with glass knives, and the sections mounted on 200-mesh New type copper grids, double stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and examined under an electron microscope.
