Nerve (40x objective lens)
-
At higher magnification some nerve fibers (axons) can be seen amidst the outlines
of the myelin sheaths. Where adjacent Schwann cells
abut one another they form a node of Ranvier,
which appears as a dark or bright line, perpendicular to
the long axis of nerve fiber.
Stain = Osmium.
