These fibers are found in various locations in the body and, in a concentrated manner, in the lymphoid organs (spleen, lymph nodes), kidneys, liver, and smooth muscles. In some organs they are arranged as three-dimensional networks around spaces that house cells.<br \/>\nIn the small magnification observe that the network that extends throughout the entire organ and that are some darker locations of fiber concentration. Details of fibers and its meshwork can be seen in the higher magnification.<br \/>\nThe reticular fibers in these images appear dark, brown or black but, in the strict sense, they were not really stained with histological stains. They were subjected to a metallic impregnation technique during which metallic silver was precipitated on the fibers. For this reason, they are sometimes also called <strong>argyrophilic fibers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\" https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-12.jpg \" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Reticular fibers.
