Version française

Higher-power view of the framed area in Figure 1.2 (×200).

Sections of the coiled epididymal duct are seen in cross (1), oblique (2) and longitudinal (3) sections.

In the simple columnar epithelium, the nuclei of the cells are seen at the base of the cytoplasm. The top or apex of the cells shows long filiform processes, which approach the clustered spermatozoa (Z).

The framed area is magnified 300 times in Figure 1.4.

Stain: H–E
Magnification: ×200
