From: A novel RGB-trichrome staining method for routine histological analysis of musculoskeletal tissues
Staining of embryonic musculoskeletal tissues with RGB trichrome. Hyaline cartilage forming cartilage anlages (HC) show a high density of chondrocytes and scarce interterritorial matrix (see A,B). Myotubes (My) are clearly differentiated from connective tissue (CT in C). (D,E) Myotubes (My) and dense fibrous tissue (FT) in longitudinal (D) and transverse (E) embryonic muscle sections. In (F), insertion of a tendon (T) in the cartilaginous anlage. Initial intramembranous ossification (IMO in B) is also observed.
