Reticular fibers
Reticular fibers are a component of all connective tissues proper and provide the sole stroma for lymphatic organs (except thymus) and hemopoietic tissue. Reticular fibers also surround adipocytes, small blood vessels and nerves, and muscle fibers. This high magnification image illustrates the characteristic branching meshwork of reticular fibers.
