11.17 Salivary gland

Version française

A sublingual gland.

This field shows the difference between the pale mucous cells (M) and the deeply stained serous demilune cells (S).

It also shows several mixed acini radiating from a short intercalated duct (arrowheads). The intercalated duct is continuous with a more acidophilic striated duct (*). Another striated duct (+) cut obliquely is also visible (bottom right).

A small amount of connective tissue stained green is seen between the acini.

Stain: Masson’s Trichrome
Magnification: ×800
