Hyaline

At left is a micrograph of spleen with hyaline deposition (pink material at top of image) in association with inflammation (hyaloserositis), using H&E stain. At right is a micrograph of a kidney with arterial hyaline (hyaline arteriolosclerosis), using PAS stain.

A hyaline substance is one with a glassy appearance. The word is derived from Greek: ὑάλινος, romanizedhyálinos, lit.'transparent', and ὕαλος, hýalos, 'crystal, glass'.[1][2]
