Corpus albicans, light micrograph - Stock-Fotografie

Light micrograph of a corpus albicans. Corpora albicantia (singular: corpus albicans) are the remnants in the ovary of the corpus luteum which forms following ovulation if fertilisation does not occur. The corpus albicans consists of fibrous tissue (pink), as the one seen here amongst ovarian stroma (blue dots) and some blood vessels (circular structures at top right and bottom left corners of image).
