Auf diesem Anschnitt des Nierenbeckens kommt weißes und braunes Fettgewebe gemeinsam vor. Die kleineren Zellen des braunen Fettgewebes enthalten mehrere, unterschiedlich große Vakuolen, während die auffällig großen, blasigen Zellen des weißen Fettgewebes eine große Vakuole aufweisen. Durch die vielen kleinen Fettvakuolen erhält das braune Fettgewebe eine schaumige Struktur. Die Vakuolen der Fettzellen geben uns einen Hinweis, wo die Fettsubstanzen im Zytoplasma im Nativzustand eingelagert waren, bevor sie durch die histologische Aufbereitung herausgelöst wurden. Die blau gefärbten Strukturen zwischen und um die einzelnen Fettzellen sind Anteile eines lockeren faserigen Bindegewebes.

1. Organization of the screen surface

Right side: histologic specimen
Left side: information about the specimen (above) and general program functions (below)

2.Histologic specimen

Pull the mouse across the histologic specimen for training purposes. A small square with exclamation marks (dynamic labels) will appear where there is an important structure. You should then decide what structure this could be. To check your result, simply click the appropriate square, and the correct label will appear. The option “marked” allows you to see all labels for all structures simultaneously. These can be removed by clicking “unmarked”. This reactivates the dynamic labels.

3. Complementary information

Info: general information about the specimen, as well as a list of the dynamic labels
Drawing: schematic drawing of the specimen
Staining: information about the staining method for this specimen
Knowledge: short texts with basic histologic information, presently deactivated

4. General Program Functions

Home: returns you to the “start” page
Tutor: how to contact the HistoNet Team
Help: Instructions for Use appear
Exit: closes down the HistoNet program
Boxes: goes back to the other specimen of a topic
VM: provides virtual microscopy
