File:IPLab3BrainInfarction2.jpg|This is a gross photograph of a cross-section of brain demonstrating the areas of infarction (arrows).
File:IPLab3BrainInfarction3b.JPG|This is a low-power photomicrograph of this brain with several areas of infarcted tissue. Note the pale areas which correspond to areas with loss of brain parenchyma (arrows).
File:IPLab3BrainInfarction4b.JPG|This is a photomicrograph of shows the edge area of the infarct. Note the numerous inflammatory cells in the healed/healing infarction (I) and more normal brain parenchyma and adjacent to the remaining brain tissue (arrowsB).
File:IPLab3BrainInfarction5b.JPG|This is a higher-power photomicrograph of the previous image showing that the inflammatory cells (arrows) are primarily macrophages and microglia which have phagocytosed the dead brain tissue.
File:IPLab3BrainInfarction6b.JPG|This is a photomicrograph of brain tissue adjacent to the area of infarction. There are numerous activated gemistocytic astrocytes (arrows).
