High power view of a chondrosarcoma

A high power view of a lacunar space in a chondrosarcoma.
A normal cartilage, this field would be taken up by a pair of chondrocytes, with a relatively pale staining nuclei.
In this particular lacunar space, you can visualize at least 10 nuclei, most of which are deeply hyperchromatic, for example by the cells at the tip of the bright orange-yellow arrow.
