Hints for Slide CRR 08.
- Look at the specimen without your microscope.
- Note the size.
- Note the specimen's smooth, curved surface (1); the straight edge (2) is a cut across the specimen.
- Under the microscope . . .
- Note that the curved surface (1) is marked by a thin, acidophilic boundary layer.
- Note the composition of the parenchyma.
- Numerous roughly-circular patches (3) are packed with very many small cells with round nuclei.
- Background texture (4) is more acidophilic than the patches noted above, but also contains very many small cells with round nuclei.
- Occasional acidophilic masses (5) are also noticeable.
- Among the various organs of the body, only one has features consistent with observations above?
Hints on the next page are a bit more pointed. Don't look unless you are stuck.
