6.22 Lymph node cortex

Version française

Section of the cortex of a rat lymph node stained with silver to show, in black, the reticular fibres (type III collagen).

The reticular fibres are particularly abundant in the lymphatic sinuses (*) where they serve as support for the reticular cells. Reticular fibres are less abundant in the germinal centres of the nodules (arrows). The capsule of the node is identified (Cap).

Stain: Hematoxylin and silver
Magnification: ×400
