2.9 Connective tissue

Version française

Section of the connective tissue of a tongue stained with Masson’s trichrome and iron hematoxylin.

In addition to a few elastic fibres stained blue (E) with iron hematoxylin, some small collagen fibres (C) are stained green with Masson’s trichrome.

In this field the following cells are identified: a fibrocyte (F), a mast cell (MC) and two plasma cells (P). These plasma cells, which derive from lymphocytes, secrete antibodies during antigenic reactions.

Stain: Masson’s Trichrome
Magnification: ×900
