Kidney
- renal cortex (10x
objective lens)
-
This image of the renal
cortex contains four renal corpuscles: a pair
in the center of the image and another pair in the upper left corner. Most
of the image is occupied by cells with eosiniphilic cytoplasm, which form
the walls
of the convoluted portions of the uriniferous tubules.
Other cells with lightly stained cytoplasm form the walls of the collecting
tubules that collect urine from the distal convoluted tubules and carry
it into the collecting duct system.
- Stain = H&E.
