Internal Structure of Avian Melanin Granules: An Electron Microscope Study

J. G. CARR 1

1 The British Empire Cancer Campaign Unit at the Agricultural Research Council Poultry Research Centre, Edinburgh, 9

The black melanin granule of the Brown Leghorn male is a separate particle of complex structure, differing from the brown granules of the female, chick down, and Rhode Island Red

It is feasible to study the granules in the electron microscope directly in the intact feather.
