An islet of Langerhans, the endocrine portion of the pancreas, is surrounded by serous acini and intercalated ducts of the exocrine portion.  Although individual endocrine cell types cannot be differentiated with this stain, numerous capillaries and the organization of cells in plates or cords adjacent to the capillaries, reflect the endocrine characteristics of the islet.  400x
