Histology (H and E) of the visceral adipose tissue of the Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus). Note the fibrous connective tissue capsule in a (black arrow head), systematic increase in size of adipocytes from the capsule (b), ECM (red arrow) with collagen, inflammatory cells and blood capillaries (c and d), immature adipocytes with dispersed chromatin and prominent nucleolus (black arrow in c) and a mature adipocyte with lipid vacuole and displaced nucleus (f). Bars show magnifications at scales a, 200 μm, b, 100 μm, c – f, 10 μm
