Identifying blood vessels using fluorescence microscopy. A representative image of a blood vessel in a H & E stained histological section is demonstrated. The blood vessel appears as a red structure under fluorescence microscopy. This technique was used to identify blood vessels in a H & E stained histological tissue if there was a question over tissue distortion or artifacts in a histological section appearing as a blood vessel. This increases the accuracy of enumerating blood vessels in histological sections. Scalebar = 30 μm.
