Microscope view of a stained tissue section of the prostatic urethra. The image exhibits a "Y" shaped cavity with white space. The cavity is surrounded by epithelial tissue cells stained in purple and pink. The composition focuses on the cellular architecture and glandular arrangements within the prostatic tissue. The staining colors provide contrast for detailed histological analysis.

Histological section of bladder tissue, stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). Upper third of image comprises transitional epithelium with irregular, undulating surface. Deeper layers show smooth muscle bundles, pink with eosin. Nuclei appear purple with hematoxylin. White background.

High-magnification microscopic image showing a cross-section of an over-extended ureter wall stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E stain). The slide shows the transitional epithelium at the top, multi-layered pink smooth muscle in the middle and white fat tissue in the lower left. Cell nuclei are visible as dark spots. The over-extension causes a general distension among cells.

Kidney tissue microscopy showing glomeruli, convoluted tubules, and blood vessels in pink stain.

Histological view of glomeruli, stained pink. Three roughly circular glomeruli are centrally positioned, exhibiting internal cellular detail and defined Bowman's capsules in negative space. Surrounding tubular structures are also pink. The composition has a shallow depth of field, emphasizing cellular detail.
