Photomicrograph of<unk> es (two are indicated by arrows) in the cytoplasm of motor neurons in the anterior horn of the spinal cord; cresyl violet stain (purple) along with a luxol fast blue stain for myelin. Scale bar = 30 microns (0.03mm). Drawing of a motor neuron from the ventral horn of the medulla spinals of a rabbit. The angular and spindle-shaped<unk> es in the cytoplasm are well shown.<unk> es (also called<unk>  granules<unk>  substance or tigroid substance) are discrete granular structures in neurons that consist of rough endoplasmic reticulum, a collection of parallel, membrane-bound cisternae studded with ribosomes on the cystosolic surface of the membranes.<unk> es were named after Franz<unk> , a German neuropathologist who invented the staining method bearing his name<unk>  staining). The term<unk>  bodies" generally refers to discrete clumps of rough endoplasmic reticulum in nerve cells. Masses of rough endoplasmic reticulum also occur in some non-neuronal cells, where they are referred to as ergastoplasm, basophilic bodies, or chromophilic substance. While these organelles differ in some ways from<unk> es in neurons, large amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum are generally linked to the copious production of proteins.
