Spleen - low magnification (4x objective lens)


This low magnification view of a section from the spleen shows the thick connective tissue capsule and numerous collagenous trabeculae, which extend from the capsule and penetrate into the interior of the spleen. Also visible are densly cellular areas of white pulp (just to the left of center) and extensive areas of less dense red pulp.
