After hematoxylin and eosin (H&#038;E) staining, the cytoplasm takes up a color similar to that of the collagen fibers The cytoplasm and its extensions are easier to observe with electron microscopy. With a light microscope, usually only a small portion of the cytoplasm is visible.<br \/>\nIn connective tissue, fibroblasts can usually be recognized by their slender nuclei with rounded ends.<\/p>\n<p>When you move the cursor over the image or click on it, the cytoplasm of the fibroblasts is highlighted in light gree, while their nuclei are highlighted in gray.<br \/>\nThe fibroblast oriented vertically is particularly easy to identify because both its nucleus and cytoplasm are visible. Its nucleus is elliptical and has rounded ends.<br \/>\nAnother fibroblast is located immediately to the right. Its nucleus is angled, but its cytoplasm is not visible.<br \/>\nThe third fibroblast is located in the lower-left corner of the image. Its nucleus is clearly visible, but only a very small amount of its cytoplasm can be seen.<br \/>\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<div onclick>\n<div class=\"image-container\">\n<div class=\"extra\">\n<a href=\"javascript:void(0)\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\" https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-15.jpg \" onmouseover=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-15MO.jpg'\" \nonmouseout=\"this.src=' https:\/\/mol-en.icb.usp.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/4-15.jpg'\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Connective tissue proper.
