Lymph node with adipose tissue

A lymph node close to the kidney, surrounded by adipose tissue.
Cortex and medulla are especially distinct in this image.

For a much larger image, click here.  At the higher magnification, the presence of brown fat can be seen among the ordinary adipocytes, distinguished by much smaller lipid droplets, several per cell.
