RETICULAR FIBERS
Duodenum smooth muscle

Rat, 10% formalin, Gomori silver, 435 x.

This is part of the muscular coat of the duodenum, stained with a special silver technique to demonstrate reticular fibers. Note the abundance of reticular fibers between muscle fibers. The latter are not stained by this method. The negative outlines of the transversely sectioned muscle fibers of the inner circular coat are well delineated by the stained reticular fibers.
