Fetal Face with nasal cartilage 2 Slide 124P

Microscopic image of fetal nasal cartilage in longitudinal section. The central region features light pink staining of hyaline cartilage matrix with dispersed chondrocytes. Flanking the cartilage on both sides are epithelium-lined nasal passages, stained in darker shades of red and pink, exhibiting a complex network of vessels, glands and cellular structures. The pale stain gives an ethereal quality to the image, and helps it to be readable.
