Under a high magnification of 16,055X, this transmission electron microscopic (TEM) image reveals ultrastructural morphology exhibited by a large phagocytic vacuole within an alveolar macrophage containing intact, degenerating Legionella pneumophila bacteria. Note that in some of the confined organisms, there was a lysis of bacterial cytoplasm with an accompanying persistence of surrounding bacterial membranes.
