Bone: the tissue
At higher magnification, the matrix of this developing woven bone is slightly purple, indicating its relatively high content of ground substance and lower content of fibers and hydroxyapatite. No lamellae are visible, the osteocytes are randomly arranged in the matrix and they are more rounded. 400x
