The images above are both at 20 magnification. The view in Figure 3(a) shows a predominance of mature adipose tissue with fine bands of fibrosis and round islands of cartilage. The surface ciliated columnar epithelium is to be seen on the right of this image along with an island of cartilage. The chondrocytes lack cytological atypia or mitotic activity. Figure 3(b) shows an island of cartilage at higher power.
