Light micrograph of perichondrium, a connective tissue unsheathing cartilage, with collagen fibres stained blue. Below is the cartilaginous tissue where rounded chondrocytes are gathered in small cell groups called isogenous groups. Deeper in the cartilaginous tissue, the matrix surrounding the chondrocytes is stained pink because it is richer in amorphous substance.
