Development of a fluorescence stereomicroscope and observation of Bong-Han corpuscles inside blood vessels

Indian J Exp Biol. 2008 May;46(5):330-5.

Abstract

A fluorescence stereomicroscope system was developed in order to observe in situ the distribution of nuclei in intravascular Bong-Han ducts and corpuscle tissues by injecting acridine orange, which stained specifically nuclei. Intravascular Bong-Han corpuscles, connected with Bong-Han ducts could be detected in the aortas of rats, mice, and rabbits.
