Micrographs from sections of tibialis anterior muscle from patients with peripheral occlusive disease before reperfusion procedure (calibration: 100 μm). (a) Eosin-hematoxylin. (b) SDH; phagocytosis and necrotic muscle fibres (arrows). (c) Myosin-ATPase, acid preincubation; small groups of atrophic angular muscle fibres (arrows), and fibre size diversity. (d) NADH; small areas of fibre-type grouping.
