Human liver, light micrograph


Light micrograph of a human liver stained with haematoxylin and eosin. The hepatic cords are separated by clear areas, where the hepatic sinusoids are located. Many of the hepatocytes (liver cells) have two nuclei, or a very large nucleus. These cells are polyploid cells. Many of the hepatocytes show lipid inclusions that appear as clear vacuoles.
