Pars distalis

Basophils and acidophils are identified by the staining affinities of their secretory granules for either hematoxylin (basophils) or eosin (acidophils).  Acidophils, the major cell type in this image, consist of growth hormone-secreting somatotropes and prolactin-secreting mammotropes.  These two cell types cannot be distinguished by routine hematoxylin and eosin staining.  1000x
