Light Microscopic Slide, Nerve trunk, H&E, 10x lens
(slide #21)- This slide shows a cross-section through the
large sciatic nerve. In the cross-section, identify the
epineurium (Epi) and the perineurium (Peri) surrounding each of the many
fascicles, and the nuclei of fibroblasts of the endoneurium (Endo),
the connective tissue between individual axons in a fascicle.
In such a routine preparation, the myelin has been dissolved
by the organic solvents used in processing.
