Abstract
A well-preserved lymphocyte was found during the electron microscopic examination of the cerebral material recovered from a naturally preser ved male mummy from northern Chile dating back over 500 years. The cyt oplasmic structures were easily recognizable. This study represents on e of the best ultrastructural analyses of mummified human peripheral b lood elements.
