Pars distalis

With this Masson stain, acidophils stain orange, basophils stain greenish-purple and the connective tissue stroma stains green.  Basophils are generally larger than acidophils.  Basophils can be further subdivided into thyrotropes, gonadotropes and adrenocorticotropes.  Acidophils are subdivided into mammotropes and somatotropes.  1000x
