COLLAGEN FIBERS – 3
Images of sections of connective tissues stained with trichrome dyes.
These kinds of stainings show very clearly the collagen fibers and help students and professionals such as pathologists to recognize them in histological sections.
In the upper figure a section stained by the Masson trichrome technique, that shows the collagen fibers in green or bluish-green.
In the lower figure a section stained by the Mallory trichrome technique, that stains these fibers in blue and sometimes in yellow.
