E= elastin fibers, C= collagen, P = plasma cells, Cap= capillary

This image is a section of a lymph node.

C = capillaries, N= adipocyte nuclei.  

Adipocytes are the main cell type of this tissue.

Cell types embedded within the connective tissue are called fibroblasts.

The cell types of this connective tissue are fibroblasts.

Fibroblasts have been stained purple.

Chondrocytes are the cells found within the small spaces (lacunae). 

C = chondrocytes

H = Haversian systems, I = irregular interstitial systems

C = fine canaliculi

Erythrocytes

A more three dimensional view of erythrocytes provided by a scanning electron microscope. 

The purple stained cell is a lymphocyte, a form of leukocyte (white blood cell).

The purple stained cell is a neutrophil, a multi-nucleated leukocyte of the blood. 

The purple stained cell a monocyte, a leukocyte with the ability to transform into a macrophage. 

The purple stained cell is a eosinophil.
