Figure 4 Histology and scanning electron microscopy of corrosion casts of regenerated liver (SG₁). A and B: Liver tissue histology (Masson’s Trichrome); C: Liver lobules (histology after Indian ink – gelatin injection); D: “mega-lobule” formed by adjacent lobules with intercommunicated sinusoidal meshwork (bordered by yellow line) (histology after Indian ink – gelatin injection); E-J: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of corrosion casts of liver vessels; E and F: “mega-lobules”; G-I: SEM of corrosion casts of sinusoids; J: SEM of vascular corrosion casts of liver lobe; “mega-lobules” (bordered by red line).
