Description
Light micrograph of a pancreatic islet stained with an antibody to the major peptide hormone somatostatin to show the relative content and distribution of the delta, or D cells, which produce it. The antibody was labeled with a red fluorescent dye. One will note that there are a few fluorescent cells, outside the islet, that stain one of the three colors. These are either isolated islet cells that 1) are not confined to the islet, 2) belong to an islet almost entirely outside the plane of the section, or 3) are an artifact of sectioning, which was done on frozen tissue. Magnification 400X.
