The objective of this review is to emphasize the contribution of optical and electronic microscopy to the study of the normal and pathological rat pancreas. These basic techniques used to explore the pancreatic morphology are capital to precisely localize specific enzymes or proteins in cellular subcompartments, to establish the normal or the pathological state of the gland, and to detect and describe unusual structures that appear under certain experimental conditions.
