We developed a novel method to observe the released threadlike structure spread on rat internal organs. The technique we used is to spray hematoxylin on internal organs to stain nuclei of the threadlike structure. We scrutinized the surface of internal organs under stereomicroscope to find the novel structure. Confocal microscope images revealed the distinctive characteristic pattern of nuclei distribution that was consistent with the Bonghan's circulatory network.
