Fig 12. 93W3288 Bone Marrow, Long Bone (cs) H&E.
Decalcified mature bone is cross-sectioned and is stained with
H&E. Haversian canal (H) is at the center of each osteon. The
canals contain osteoblasts (Ob), blood vessels and connective
tissue. Osteocytes (Oc) show dark staining nuclei and lie in
lacunae from which canaliculi radiate (canaliculi can not be
identified in this preparation.) The lamellae of the osteon are
not clearly distinguished in this section.
