Abstract
Several important features of the vascular organization of bone marrow were early established by means of light microscopy of thin unstained sections, particularly of material perfused with Prussian blue and vermilion suspensions (Langer 1876; Ranvier 1875). In modern times light microscopy is still an indispensable technique, but electron microscopy, especially at low powers of magnification (2000–20 000), is increasingly being applied to the study of the vascular endothelium in bones.
