General and Systemic Histopathology, C601&C602
 |
You want to look at the
vessels in the dermis. The amyloid deposits will be in the walls. See this slide with the virtual microscope. |
 |
Here you can see a slight enhancement of the eosinophilic staining of the vessel walls, but not nearly to the extent when the diagnostic congo red stain is used. Concentrate in the walls of the vessels in the dermis and compare your observations with slide 169. |
