Histology Slides Online
Microscopic anatomy of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.
Every slide here is a scan of a real prepared specimen, not a simulation or a drawing. Pan from the whole slide down to individual cells, always in focus, and measure structures in real micrometers. Present a slide live and every student screen follows your view and annotations. Students join with a room code on Chromebooks, iPads, or any browser, with no accounts.
12 Histology and Tissue slides
- Human Cheek Cells (Whole Mount) Homo sapiens: This whole mount shows human cheek cells (Homo sapiens), scraped from the inside of the mouth and stained pink with eosin. The cells are thin and flat with…
- Hyaline Cartilage (Trachea Section) Homo sapiens: This section of the trachea, or windpipe, is stained with H&E and shows a C-shaped ring of hyaline cartilage. The cartilage is a glassy, purple band with…
- Lung (bottom section) Slice 1 Homo sapiens: This is a frozen section of human lung (Homo sapiens), stained with H&E and taken from the bottom face of a tissue block. Lung tissue looks like lace because…
- Lung (bottom section) Slice 2 Homo sapiens: This frozen section of normal human (Homo sapiens) lung is stained with H&E. Most of the tissue looks like lace. The open spaces are alveoli, the tiny air…
- Lung (top section) Slice 1 Homo sapiens: This is a frozen section of human lung (Homo sapiens), stained with H&E. Much of the tissue is a lacy network of tiny air sacs called alveoli, where oxygen…
- Lung (top section) Slice 2 Homo sapiens: This is a frozen section of human lung (Homo sapiens), stained with H&E. Most of the tissue looks like lace, made of tiny air sacs called alveoli, with very…
- Lung (top section) Slice 3 Homo sapiens: This is a frozen section of human lung (Homo sapiens), stained with H&E. Most of the tissue is made of tiny air sacs called alveoli, with thin pink walls…
- Lung (top section) Slice 4 Homo sapiens: This frozen section of human lung is stained with H&E. Most of the tissue looks like lace, made of many tiny air sacs called alveoli with very thin walls…
- Ovary (top section) Homo sapiens: This is a frozen section of a human ovary, stained with H&E so nuclei look purple and collagen looks pink. Most of the tissue is stroma, a dense mix of thin…
- Rooster Comb (Cross Section) Gallus gallus domesticus: This is a cross section of a rooster comb (Gallus gallus domesticus), stained with H&E. A thin layer of stacked skin cells, the epidermis, covers the outside…
- Skeletal Muscle (Transverse & Longitudinal Section) Homo sapiens: This slide shows human skeletal muscle (Homo sapiens) cut two ways, stained with iron hematoxylin. In the top piece, a transverse section cut across the…
- Small Intestine (Cross Section): This is a cross section of the small intestine, stained with H&E (hematoxylin and eosin), which colors nuclei purple and most other tissue pink. The inner…
