Adrenal
gland - zona glomerulosa (40x objective lens)
This image shows the
oval-shaped clusters of cells that comprise the
zona glomerulosa, which is located just beneath the blue-stained connective
tissue capsule. The cell clusters are separated by capillaries
whose darkly stained, flattened nuclei can be
seen exterior to the groups of secretory cells. The cells of the zona glomerulosa
produce mineral corticoids.
