Cards from Science Photo Library
Ovarian follicles, light micrograph
Ovarian follicles. Coloured light micrograph of a section through an ovary (orange), showing three primary follicles (pink). At the centre of each follicle is the large nucleus of the developing egg (oocyte, pale pink). Surrounding the egg are cuboidal follicular cells (dark pink). At birth there are tens of thousands of primordial follicles, the precursors to primary follicles, present in the ovaries. Once sexual maturity is reached, up to 20 primordial follicles are triggered to start developing into primary follicles every menstrual cycle. Only one will reach full maturity and release its egg (ovum) at ovulation. Magnification: x60 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of ovarian follicles, providing a glimpse into the complex world of human reproduction. The image, captured using a light microscope and enhanced with vibrant colors, depicts an orange ovary section with three primary follicles in shades of pink. At the core of each follicle lies a large nucleus representing the developing egg or oocyte, delicately shaded in pale pink. Surrounding these precious eggs are cuboidal follicular cells, depicted in dark pink hues. It is fascinating to note that at birth, tens of thousands of primordial follicles exist as precursors to primary ones within our ovaries. However, once sexual maturity is attained, only up to 20 primordial follicles are stimulated during each menstrual cycle to commence their transformation into primary ones. Remarkably, out of this group striving for maturation and release at ovulation, only one will ultimately reach full maturity and successfully release its egg or ovum. This remarkable process unfolds within our bodies every month as part of the female reproductive system's intricate dance. The magnification level used for this print allows us to appreciate these microscopic structures on a larger scale; when printed at 10cm wide it reaches x60 magnification. This stunning photograph serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as an educational tool shedding light on the wonders hidden within our own bodies.
