WORKSHOP IN HISTOLOGY, CYTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY - 2016

Chapter 2. CYTOLOGY.

Slide 9. Ribonucleic acid in the cells of a cat spinal ganglion.

Staining: pyronin and methyl green.

Magnification: x400.

At low magnification, we locate large, round Cells. One of them, containing a Nucleus (1), is examined at high magnification. The Nucleus features an almost transparent karyoplasm, with the red-stained nucleolus (2) clearly outlined. Occasionally, small green-stained Chromatin granules can be distinguished within the nucleus. Red granules (3) are also observed in the Cytoplasm, indicating the presence of RNA.
