Description
Fragment of a compact bone stained with the Schmorl technique, light micrograph. With this technique, osteocytes and their processes are stained blue. Unstained spaces of different sizes are also observed. The smallest and more rounded are Haversian canals. They are surrounded by osteocytes arranged in concentric layers forming the osteons or Haversian systems. Larger spaces are reabsorption cavities. Magnification: x90 when printed at 10 centimetres across.
