Connective tissue magnification

Fig. 1. Illustrating the various hierarchies of element involved in present considerations. At the top are shown the distinctive components of connective tissue. The ground substance, which contains the mucopolysaccharides, hyaluronate and chondroitin sulfate, has been studied chemically by Karl Meyer (150, 151) and by K. H. Meyer (158), among others, and electron optically by Gross (87), but this component does not receive significant further attention herein. Occasional reference is made to elastin, but the text considers principally the collagenous elements, shown in steps of increasing magnification.

Fig. 4.4 Coronal histological section of the lateral margin of ACL tibial footprint (original magnification x 1). The lateral meniscus attaches to the base of lateral groove and the lateral aspect of the protrusion with connective tissue. AC articular cartilage of lateral tibial plateau. White dot area connective tissue (CT) of anterior horn of lateral meniscus. Black dash line bony protrusion of ACL tibial footprint. Arrowhead base of lateral groove...

FIGURE 33.3 (See color insert.) Hematoxylin and eosin staining of representative DPSC transplants, (a) After I week posttransplantation, DPSC transplants contain connective tissue (CT) around HA/TCP carrier (HA), without any sign of dentin formation, (b) After 6 weeks posttransplantation, DPSCs differentiate into odontoblasts (arrows) that are responsible for the dentin formation on the surface of HA/TCP (HA). Original magnification 40x. 

Figure 2.17 Representative histological sections of scaffolds implanted in femoral condyle defects (a and b) a PPF scaffold 4 weeks after implantation, (c and d) a US-tube-PPF scaffold after 4 weeks, (e andf) a PPF scaffold after 12 weeks, and (g and h) a US-tube-PPF scaffold after 12weeks implantation. The images are presented at 1.6A and 10A magnification. The PPF scaffold (P) appears as white areas in all images. The original defect edge (DE) is visible in the low-magnification images. Bone-like tissue (BT) appears red direct bone implant contact (BIC) occurred with the US-tube-PPF nanocomposite scaffold 12 weeks after implantation. US tubes (UST), connective tissue (CT), adipose cells (AC), and inflammatory cells (IC) are also shown. Adapted from Sitharaman B, Shi X, Walboomers XF, Liao H, Cuijpers V, Wilson LJ, et al.

Figure 10. Electron micrograph of a polymorphic nucleus ( 5). There is a thin connection between each nuclear lobe (arrows). The micrograph is from cotton lateral root tissue treated with trifluralin for 24 h. Magnification = 5,500y. ...
