Microscopic cross section of a female ovary

Ovarian cyst, endoscope view C017 / 6801
Ovarian cyst. Endoscope (laparascope) view of a cyst (white) on a patients ovary. Ovarian cysts are common in women of child-bearing age

Ovary, endoscope view C017 / 6803
Ovary. Endoscope (laparascope) view of a healthy ovary (white). There are two ovaries in the female body, which release an egg (ovum) during the monthly ovulation cycle

Ovarian cyst, endoscope view C017 / 6802
Ovarian cyst. Endoscope (laparascope) view of a cyst (white) on a patients ovary. Ovarian cysts are common in women of child-bearing age

Ectopic pregnancy, endoscope view C017 / 6804
Ectopic pregnancy. Endoscope (laparascope) view of an ectopic pregnancy in a patients fallopian tube. An ectopic pregnancy (eccysis)

Oocyte, light micrograph
Oocyte. Light micrograph of a section through an oocyte within a early antral follicle in an ovary. Oocytes are immature ova, or egg cells

Fimbriae of a fallopian tube, SEM C016 / 9047
Fimbriae of a fallopian tube, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Fimbriae are the folds at the opening (ostium) of a fallopian tube, next to an ovary

Ovulation, artwork C016 / 7537
Ovulation, computer artwork

Fimbriae of a fallopian tube, SEM C016 / 9048
Fimbriae of a fallopian tube, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Fimbriae are the folds at the opening (ostium) of a fallopian tube, next to an ovary

Fimbriae of a fallopian tube, SEM C016 / 9049
Fimbriae of a fallopian tube, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Fimbriae are the folds at the opening (ostium) of a fallopian tube, next to an ovary

Fimbriae of a fallopian tube, SEM C016 / 9046
Fimbriae of a fallopian tube, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Fimbriae are the folds at the opening (ostium) of a fallopian tube, next to an ovary

Corpus luteum, light micrograph
Corpus luteum. Light micrograph of a section through the corpus luteum of an ovary. The corpus luteum is the tissue formed from a mature ovarian follicle after the follicle has released its oocyte

Oocyte before ovulation, light micrograph
Oocyte before ovulation. Light micrograph of a section through tissue from an ovary, showing an oocyte two days before ovulation

Ovarian follicle tissue, light micrograph
Ovarian follicle tissue. Light micrograph of a section through tissue from an ovarian follicle, showing a boundary between two layers

Cervix, light micrograph
Cervix. Light micrograph of a section through the mucosa of the cervix, the neck of the uterus. This is the endocervix, which borders the uterus. It is lined with columnar epithelial cells

The female reproductive system is a complex and intricate network of organs that play a crucial role in the creation of life. From the ovaries to the uterus, each component serves its unique purpose in this miraculous process. Ovarian cancer, a devastating disease that affects countless women worldwide, reminds us of the importance of understanding and caring for our bodies. A light micrograph C015 / 7103 reveals the delicate nature of these vital organs, urging us to prioritize regular check-ups and screenings. Within the ovaries lie ovarian follicles, as seen through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). These tiny structures house immature eggs waiting for their chance at fertilization. The beauty captured by this image highlights both their fragility and potential. A cross-sectional view showcases an anterior perspective of the uterus with fibroids alongside other essential components like the vagina and cervix. This visual representation emphasizes how interconnected these parts are in supporting reproduction while also reminding us that conditions such as fibroids can impact fertility. An endoscope view C017 / 6800 allows us to witness an ovarian cyst firsthand. Although often benign, these fluid-filled sacs can cause discomfort or complications if left untreated. Regular medical examinations help detect them early on before they become problematic. Similarly, another endoscope view C017 / 6805 focuses on capturing an intimate glimpse into the uterus itself. By examining this organ closely, doctors can identify any abnormalities or signs of disease promptly—empowering women to take control over their reproductive health. Microscopic analysis provides further insight into specific components within this intricate system: a light micrograph F006 / 9805 offers a close-up look at cervical cells while another F006 / 9799 zooms in on fallopian tubes' inner workings—the very pathways where conception occurs. Uterine fibroids are common growths found within many women's uteruses; MRI scan C018 / 0466 helps visualize their size and location.
