Description
Light micrograph of a small blood vessel. The central portion of the tubular shaped vessel contains mostly red blood cells and a few white blood cells that are identified by their dark blue nuclei (dark blue dots interspersed within the red blood cells). The blood vessel wall is seen on the top and bottom aspects of the picture and is composed of three layers: an intima (inner most pink band), a media (middle slightly darker pink band), and an adventitia (outer lightest pink band). Haematoxylin and eosin stained tissue section. Magnification: 200x when printed at 10cm.
