Histology of the appendix

The appendix seen here is stained with Masson's trichrome. This stain is designed to show the relationship of collagen (blue) and muscle (Red). It also shows the nuclei in purple. In this case there is very little muscle showing because it is focused on the villi and goblet cells.
