In such prepara-tions the points of union common to several cells are often markedby small, deeply-stained areas—the stigmata, or figures are regarded by some as minute openings filled bysilver-stained albuminous substances; according to Klein, however,many of these stigmata are the protruding stained processes of con-nective-tissue cells.
