Stain: hematoxylin and eosin. High magnification.
FIGURE 16.6 | Bile Canaliculi in Liver Lobule
(Osmic Acid Preparation)
Preparation of a liver section with osmic acid and staining with hematoxylin and
eosin reveals the bile canaliculi (3, 5), the tiny channels between individual
hepatocytes in the hepatic plates (4). The canaliculi (3, 5) follow an irregular
course between the hepatic plates (4) and branch freely within the hepatic plates
(4).
The sinusoids (6) are lined with discontinuous endothelial cells (1) and
drain toward and open into the central vein (2).
