Fluorescent micrograph of a Drosophila melanogaster reproductive system highlighting the muscular and neural structure fruitfly ovaries and uterus. The background staining of the eggs in red is a spe...

Colorized scanning electron micrograph of an eggshell collected at 3900X magnification.

Video of zebrafish embryo development from a 2-cell egg to fish larva. Images were collected using confocal microscopy. Honorable Mention, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition®.

A photomicrograph of a stained semi-thin section of mouse ovary, showing a maturing Graafian follicle. The ovary contains many follicles that contain immature oocytes (egg cells). The follicle is impo...

How the cell cytoplasm is spatially organized is of fundamental interest. In ordinary animal cells the cytoplasm is organized by a radial array of microtubules, called an aster. Aster microtubules are...

Light micrograph of human ovum (egg) and sperm. The ovum is much larger than the sperm and is surrounded by protective cumulus cells around the outside surface (yellow). The membrane surrounding the o...

A colorized scanning electron micrograph of a human egg, which is the huge cell colored yellow at the bottom of this image. The follicle cells that surround it (top) send out long projections that pen...

This fluorescent micrograph shows the developing egg chambers within the Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) ovary. The egg chambers house the maturing eggs - these are the cells at the tips of the eg...
