Small Intestine Jejenum 3 Slide UCSF 246

High-magnification light micrograph showing intestinal villi from the jejunum. The villi exhibit a tall columnar epithelium with basally located, darkly stained nuclei. The lamina propria is visible as the central core of the villi. The tissue is stained to highlight cellular details. The background is light, providing contrast to the violet-stained tissue.

A microscopic image displays a section of the small intestine, specifically the jejunum. Prominent villi, finger-like projections that increase the surface area for absorption, are visible. The cells that make up the villi are clearly defined, and the cell nuclei appear as dark, oval shapes within the cells. The overall structure shows good preservation of tissue architecture.
