Cerebellum Slide 77a Luxol blue stain-2

This microscopic image highlights the dividing line between gray and white matter in nervous tissue. The gray matter appears densely packed with numerous neuron cell bodies, which are large and darkly stained, along with supporting glial cells. In contrast, the white matter consists primarily of tightly bundled axons, which are lighter stained due to the presence of myelin. The transition between the two regions is distinct, with a gradual decrease in cell bodies and an increase in axonal density. Staining techniques emphasize the structural differences, making the contrast between the two regions clearly visible.
