Description
English: This micrograph of brain tissue reveals the cytoarchitectural histopathologic changes found in bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The presence of vacuoles, i.e. microscopic “holes” in the gray matter, gives the brain of BSE-affected cows a sponge-like appearance when tissue sections are examined in the lab.
Nederlands: Deze microscopische opname toont hersenweefsel van een koe die aan BSE gestorven is. Tussen de hersencellen ziet men duidelijk verschillende vacuoles, die deze coupe (weefselsnede) een sponsachtig uitzicht geven.
