Figure 2

Representative histology of muscle specimen imaged via light microscopy at 20X magnification. Vibrissal pad muscle is demonstrated for (A) motor isograft group, (B) sensory isograft group, (C) intact group, and (D) gap defect group. The background is light brown, nerve fibers are dark brown (neurofilament stain), and motor endplates (acetylcholinesterase stain) are stained blue. Asterisk represents motor end-plates and black arrow points to nerve fibers. Scale bar represents 100 µm.
