Figure 5

Representative micrographs of rat oesophagus, cornea, and pancreas. Electron micrographs were taken from 30 µm sections. (a,b) Oesophagus. Thick PS-LvSEM demonstrates the multiple layers of stratified epithelium. (c,d) Cornea. The face image of endothelium, rarely seen in 5 µm sections (arrowheads in c), is clearly shown in the 30 µm section. Note the collagen fibres in its stroma (ST). (e,f) Islets of Langerhans (IL) in the pancreas. The capillary network is seen, a characteristic of endocrine organs.
