Reproduction Histology

Histological light microscopy image of the epididymis. Displaying a roughly circular epididymal tubule lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium. The periphery is surrounded by connective tissue with scattered nuclei and blood vessels. The tubule's lumen has a cell accumulation. pink and purple staining is visible.

Epididymis

Histological slide of prostate tissue stained with eosin and hematoxylin, showing dense proliferation of glands. The image is dominated by pink hues, with darker purple spots indicating nuclei. Ductal structures exhibit atypical branching patterns, with prominent stromal components. The overall composition reveals a cross-sectional view of the prostate gland.

Accessory Glands

Microscopic image of seminiferous tubules stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Circular tubule cross-sections dominate the frame. Dark purple nuclei of spermatogenic cells are densely arranged around the lighter pink to white lumina. Reddish-pink connective tissue separates the tubules. The composition allows clear visualization of cellular arrangement and structural components.

Seminiferous tubules

Microscopic image of a penile cross-section. Two large, pink, sponge-like areas (corpora cavernosa) occupy the upper two thirds of the image. The bottom portion shows another, smaller spongiousum. The corpora are surrounded by layers of pink connective tissue and blood vessels to keep the penis erec

Penis

Light micrograph of a ductus deferens, stained pink. The central lumen is small and irregularly shaped. The muscularis externa forms a thick, circular structure. The surrounding tissue consists of connective tissue and other structures from the spermatic cord. The image is evenly illuminated.

Vas Deferens

Light microscopy image of a vagina slide displaying pink stained stratified squamous epithelium and blue stained connective tissue. The stratified squamous epithelium covers the superficial layer. The connective tissue is located in the deep layer.

Vagina

Histological slide of the cervix tissue. Red blood cells spread across the surface with cuboidal epithelial cells. The tissue structure is composed of cells stained in red and connective tissues in blue, visualized under high magnification.

Cervix

Microscopic histology slide showing a uterine tube cross-section stained with eosin. The lumen appears as a central, irregular white space. Concentric layers of smooth muscle and connective tissue surround the lumen, with smaller blood vessels distributed throughout. Tissue is stained in varying intensity.

Uterine Tubules

A high-magnification photomicrograph reveals a human uterus in the proliferative stage. The dominant colors are red and white. The endometrium comprises a rich, red blood vessel network interspersed with endometrial glands (white hollow structures). The image suggests dense cellularity and a complex architectural arrangement of the uterine tissue.

Uterus

Ovaries

Histological slide of ovarian tissue; hematoxylin and eosin stain. Follicles, visible as circular structures with oocytes at center, are dispersed throughout a pink connective tissue matrix. A range of follicle development stages can be seen, from primordial to primary (demarcated with added red circle border), showing follicles containing oocytes and follicles with darker nuclei. The margin of the ovary runs along the top right of the image.

Oocytes

Histological slide showing a corpus luteum in cross-section, stained light pink. The corpus luteum exhibits a convoluted, lobular structure with a central medullary area. The cortical region appears cellular, extending radially toward the periphery. Irregular boundaries and tissue density variations are present, enhancing depth. The overall composition is centered, highlighting the anatomical features.
