Ossification center in 2 perinatal cheirogaleids. Superior aspect is at the top of the image. C. medius (a) and M. murinus (b, c) are shown. The proximal epiphysis of the femur (F) and the iliac (Ili) and pubic (P) centers of ossification are at least partially cartilaginous. Ca: joint cavity; LT: ligamentum teres; Sy: synovial membrane. Stains: a, b, hematoxylin eosin; c: Gomori trichrome preparation. Scale bars: a, b: 200 μm; c: 300 μm.
