The olfactory system of sharks is important for survival. To learn more about the system, we use histological staining and a compound microscope to examine the different types of cells. The tissue in this image is from a Port Jackson shark (Heterodontus portusjacksoni). Image taken with equipment at the FAU High School Owls Imaging Lab.
