Microscopic view of simple columnar epithelium from the small intestine. The tall, column-shaped cells are arranged in a single layer, tightly packed together and lining a lumen. Each cell has a dark stained nucleus, located near the base. Connective tissue and lymphocytes are present adjacent to the epithelial layer, indicating an inflammatory response. Image is stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), resulting in a predominantly pink and purple colour scheme.
