Slide 095 arteriole and companion venule

Light micrograph image of adipose tissue stained with H&E, highlighting an arteriole and adjacent venule. The arteriole appears as a small, circular structure with multiple layers stained intensely eosinophilic. The venule, situated nearby, exhibits a larger lumen and less defined wall. The background consists of adipocytes with clear cytoplasm and peripherally located nuclei; all are arranged in a non-uniform pattern against a white background.

A magnified microscopic view of adipose tissue, showcasing an arteriole and its companion venule. The arteriole features a smaller, thicker wall in a circular shape due to its muscular layer, while the venule has a larger, irregular lumen and a thinner wall. Both vessels are stained pink and are embedded within the surrounding white adipose tissue cells.
