LM of longitudinal section of skeletal muscle
Light micrograph (longitudinal section) of human skeletal muscle, showing several individual muscle fibers (pink) separated by connective tissue (thin white strips). The regular cross-striations of the muscle fibers are myofibrils, cylindrical structures lying parallel to each other & which contain the contractile proteins of the muscle fiber. The dark stained flattened shapes are nuclei, which lie in a peripheral position in skeletal muscle cells.
