A LARGER MAGNIFICATION
Continuing to observe images of the same liver section, now at a slightly higher magnification, you can see a pink network and many small blue circles. What you see are cells with pink cytoplasm and bluish nuclei.

There are also many empty, white spaces of very different shapes. They are lumens of blood capillaries, that is, vascular spaces of blood capillaries.

Note that below the image there is a warning, the figure of a hand holding a mouse. This means that in this frame there is a special effect that results from placing the mouse cursor over the image or clicking on the image.

After changing the image, some of the vascular spaces will appear stained in green.

Liver. Hematoxylin and eosin. Medium magnification.

Desktops and notebooks: Place the cursor over the figure to access another image.
