Liver portal triad, light micrograph C016 / 8490
Liver portal triad. Fluorescence deconvolution micrograph of a section through a portal triad in liver tissue, showing hepatocyte cells (red), connective tissue (green) inside the periportal limiting plate, and cell nuclei (blue dots). A portal triad (portal field, or portal tract) is a distinctive arrangement in the liver where the proper hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein, common bile duct, lymphatic vessels and a branch of the vagus nerve meet. The ring of hepatocytes abutting the connective tissue of the triad is called the periportal limiting plate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a liver portal triad, captured through a light micrograph. The image, labeled C016 / 8490, provides a fluorescent deconvolution view of a section within liver tissue. The distinct colors highlight different components: hepatocyte cells appear in vibrant red, connective tissue is depicted in green within the periportal limiting plate, and cell nuclei are represented as blue dots. A portal triad refers to the unique arrangement found in the liver where various vital elements converge. In this mesmerizing visual, we can observe the proper hepatic artery, hepatic portal vein, common bile duct, lymphatic vessels, and even a branch of the vagus nerve coming together harmoniously. Surrounding these structures is an encircling ring of hepatocytes known as the periportal limiting plate. The photograph not only offers insight into liver anatomy but also serves as an excellent resource for studying histology and cytology. By utilizing fluorescence and confocal light microscopy techniques along with specific stains and dyes to mark proteins and cellular components accurately, researchers R. BICK and B. POINDEXTER from UT Medical School have produced this remarkable image. While it's important to note that this caption does not mention any commercial use or affiliation with Science Photo Library (the company), it emphasizes how this scientific artwork contributes to our understanding of healthy biological structures at a microscopic level using animal tissue samples such as rat tissues.
