The figure seen under Transmission Electron Microscope in the picture above represents Myelin figure.
Myelin figures,” derived from degenerating cellular membranes”, may be seen within the cytoplasm (in autophagic vacuoles) or extracellularly. They are thought to result from unmasking of phosphatide groups, promoting the uptake and intercalation of water between the lamellar stacks of membranes.
