Description Stain: Perjodic acid-Schiff reaction (PAS). At the top the chorionic plate (1) with cross-sections of umbilical vessels (2) At (3) the folded amnion covering the chorionic plate. Ramifications of thicker stem villi demonstrate free-floating terminal villi (tertiary).

On the opposite side (bottom) the maternal decidua is stripped off, but the decidua cells still appear PAS positive (arrows 5).
