Histological section of hyaline cartilage stained with a connective tissue stain, showing the free articular surface and underlying matrix. Chondrocytes are located within lacunae and arranged in clusters called isogenous nests, highlighted in an inset. The cartilage matrix appears smooth and homogeneous, and a distinct tide mark separates the non-calcified cartilage from the underlying calcified zone. The image illustrates the structural organization of hyaline cartilage and its cellular arrangement.
