Transmission electron microscopy of human melanocytes in a bioengineered pigmented full-thickness skin equivalent. TEM shows the characteristic melanocyte ultrastructure with dendrites extending into the epidermal layers, melanosomes at various stages of maturation (I-IV), and the perinuclear cytoplasm rich in organelles. Pigmented (P) and non-pigmented (NP) skin equivalents compared.
