A longitudinal and cross section of skeletal muscle. See also Slide 33, a section through the tip of the tongue in which the skeletal muscle is sectioned longitudinally, obliquely and crosswise. To view the striations of skeletal muscle in an H/E specimen, the condenser of the microscope must be turned down to obtain as much contrast as possible. Remember to turn the condenser back to its original position after you have finished.
