High magnification light micrograph showing the anterior lobe of a rat pituitary gland, stained with Gabe's fuchsin-paraldehyde method. In the anterior lobe, this method selectively stains the thyrotropin cells. The Orange G included in this method stains the acidophil cells (and also the red blood cells). Magnification: x180 when printed at 10 centimetres across.
