Light micrograph of a rat embryo treated with the alizarin method for the study of ossification. This method involves the use of two dyes: alizarin red that stains calcified tissues dark red, and toluidine blue, which stains cartilage blue. Seen here are the bones of the upper arm, scapula and fingers. Almost all the bones have begun diaphyseal ossification, but there are still no epiphyseal ossification centres. The carpal bones are still in the cartilaginous stage. | |
