Description

This cross section shows a human fetal testis. Numerous seminiferous tubules appear within a lobe of the testis. It has not been treated with an antibody but is autofluorescent and therefore appears bright green. The image was made from a commercially fixed and section slide that was stained with hematoxylin and eosin and imaged with a Nikon Eclipse inverted microscope
