Histo Adrenal Gland 2 Slide 231

Microscopic histological image of the adrenal cortex zona glomerulosa, stained in shades of pink to red with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). The bottom two-thirds of the frame are filled with spherical clusters of intensely stained cells, representing the characteristic arrangement of the zona glomerulosa. A thin laminar region with flattened cells is present closer to the upper section forming a thin transition band. The upper portion of the image presents a less structured appearance, with fibrous connective tissue stained in gradients of a lighter pink. The image is oriented horizontally, with a consistent focal plane throughout.

Microscopic view of adrenal cortex tissue, specifically the zona glomerulosa. Distinct, densely packed groups of cells stained in a reddish-pink hue fill much of the image. Above this layer, a thinner section of tissue also stained reddish-pink forms a transitional zone between the primary tissue and the coarser, lighter pink upper region, possibly connective tissue. The image provides a cellular-level view of the tissue’s structural and functional characteristics.
