V-55 Skeletal Muscle (H&E). Cross section (high power view). Note the peripherally located nuclei of muscle cells. Nuclei of satellite cells are similarly localized, but can not be distinguished from those of muscle fibers under LM examination. Observe the delicate endomysium with capillaries. Also notice nuclei of fibroblasts and endothelial cells lining capillaries (arrows).
