Longitudinal section of a sciatic nerve.

Separated by the collagen fibres (Co) of the endoneurium, several nerve fibres can be recognized by the characteristic appearance of the precipitated myelin (My) that forms irregular acidophilic networks.

Some axons (Ax), partly masked by myelin, are visible.

Nodes of Ranvier (NR) are traversed by their respective axons.
