External view and histological analysis of X. tropicalis tumors. (a,b) External view of NH-III-4 and NH-V-1 tumor individuals. Arrowheads indicate the tumors. (a’,b’) Enlarged view of the tumors. Scale bar indicates 2 mm (a’,b’). (c) Histological analysis of normal tissue, stained by HE. Skin is composed of the epidermis (E) and dermis, which is subdivided into the dense regular connective tissue (C.T.) (arrow), dense irregular C.T. (arrow) and loose C.T. (L). Arrowheads indicate the pigment. The pigment adjacent to the epidermis is commonly referred to as the chromatophore. GG, granular gland; MG, mucous gland. (d,e) Histological analysis of tumors of NH-III-4 (d) and NH-V-1 (e). Arrowheads in (d,e) indicate the pigment. Scale bar indicates 100 μm (c–e).
