(of biological specimens) allowing the passage of few electrons, and so appearing dark in electron micrographs.
Example sentencesExamples
The acinar cells show characteristic cytoplasmic, membrane-bound, electron-dense granules that are smaller and more variable in size than the granules of normal serous cells.
In the mutant clone, numerous electron-dense bodies were observed that are likely to be the remnants of degenerating rhabdomeres.
To exclude this possible interference, we used another transmission EM method that is based on the direct covalent labeling of plasmid DNA with electron-dense gold nanoparticles.
Cytoplasmic electron-dense granules, granular endoplasmic reticulum, and some Golgi complexes were present in both spindle and epithelial cells.
The epithelial cells contained oval nuclei with focally clumped chromatin and one electron-dense nucleolus.
