Fig. 8. Histology of endotoxin-induced myocarditis (EIM). Large numbers of neutrophils are within this capillary lumen. The wall of the capillary is expanded by pale eosinophilic lacy material (edema). Few neutrophils are present within the wall outside the lumen (transmigration) and others are present within the sarcoplasm of adjacent cardiomyocytes. In the adjacent area, connective tissue spaces contain a moderate amount of proteinaceous material (edema). (Scale bar, 3.5 m m.)
