Illumination Human Uterine Sarcoma Sarcomas usually originate in muscle or connective tissue and spread through the bloodstream to other tissues.
Uterine sarcomas are among the most serious of all cancers.
The thin sections of sarcoma tissue illustrated below are stained with eosin and hematoxylin. The transmitted brightfield digital images above were recorded using a QX3 microscope that was modified for auxiliary illumination. This was accomplished by directing a fiber optic light pipe at a quarter-inch hole drilled into the front of the mixing chamber to increase the illumination intensity. The light pipe was aimed at the side of the mixing chamber to avoid directing illuminating the frosted diffusion screen. All Rights Reserved .
