Ovarian follicle, light micrograph
Ovarian follicle. Light micrograph of a transverse section through a mammalian ovary, the reproductive structure that produces the female sex cells (ova). The section has revealed the internal structure of an ovarian follicle, the structure within which an ovum develops from an oocyte. This is a secondary ovarian follicle, which has outer follicle cells and follicular cavities, but doesn t contain a primary oocyte. Magnification: x195 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an intricate and detailed view of an ovarian follicle, captured under a light microscope. The image presents a transverse section through a mammalian ovary, the essential reproductive organ responsible for producing female sex cells or ova. The internal structure of the ovarian follicle is beautifully revealed in this secondary stage. It displays outer follicle cells surrounding multiple follicular cavities, which are crucial for nurturing and supporting the development of an ovum from its precursor cell called oocyte. With a magnification of x195 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this photograph offers viewers an up-close examination into the biological wonders within our bodies. The stained tissue provides enhanced visibility and highlights key anatomical features that contribute to the process of female reproduction. This remarkable image serves as a testament to the complexity and elegance found within our cellular makeup. It invites us to appreciate the delicate balance required for life's creation while shedding light on various aspects of reproductive biology and histology.
