Question

What is the visual difference between Areolar slides and Reticular.

Answer 1

In areolar slides u would see elastic or kollagen fibers near fibroblasts, in reticular ones there aren't any of these structures.

Answer 2

I found out when I went to lab. It depends on the staining method. The big indicators are that areolar are filled with collagen fibers which are in a way very orderly. In the reticular you wont see collagen fibers but you will see very dark stained reticular fibers and lots of little round cells.
