Ganglion Cells

Ganglion Cells
Spinal ganglion. H&E stain. Magnification 400x.

This image shows at increased magnification several of the ganglion cells and associated supporting cells. The pointer "s" indicates a satellite cell, while the pointer "c" designates the ovoid nucleus of a capsule cell. The satellite cells are analogous with the neuroglia cell and the capsule cell is a fibroblast associated with the supporting connective tissue.

 

Ganglion Cells
Spinal ganglion. Iron hematoxylin stain. Magnification 400x.
At higher magnification, again examine the ganglion cells (unipolar neurons) noting the Nissl substance and the large nuclei. Also note the associated satellite cells and capsule cells.
