[Histonet] FW: unidentified object

[S.Mason]

Many apologies, I should have posted the picture to the histonet website.  I have now sent it there under the filename of UHO.
 
Thanks, and sorry once more.

Hi folks,
 
Could anyone help me identify this object?

 
It was found just outside the epineurium in rat sciatic nerve and is surrounded by what I presume to be RBCs.  The staining is Passini's trichrome.
 
I have ruled out sutures, so does anyone have any ideas?  I would be most grateful to hear from you on s.mason <@t> open.ac.uk <mailto:s.mason <@t> open.ac.uk>  if you have.  I am away for a week so I apologise in advance if I don't reply immediately.
 
Thank you for your interest.
 
Kind regards,
