Light micrograph of small intestine serosa. Pink-stained collagen fibers exhibit a wavy texture in the bottom left of the compositon as the layer thins moving to the top right of the compositon. The tissue is contrasted by sparse dark pink elliptical shaped nuclei on a cream light white background. A ragged tear is visible on the tissue surface.
