Figure 1. Normal Cervix. Photomicrograph A: Grimelius’ Argyrophil Reaction at 100 ×Arrows indicate the Argyrophil cells. Photomicrograph B: Immunoexpression with Chromogranin A at 100 ×. Arrows indicate the Cg A reaction. Location of reaction: Cytoplasmic. Intensity of reaction: Weak Photomicrograph C: Immunoexpression with Synaptophysin at 100 ×, Arrows indicate the SYN reaction. Location of reaction: Cytoplasmic and Membranous. Intensity of reaction: Moderate.
