Rat Ovary Tissue

The digital image depicted in the section above is a three-dimensional reconstruction of rat ovary tissue stained with Alexa Fluor 350 (wheat germ agglutinin; highlighting lectins), Alexa Fluor 568 (phalloidin; labeling actin filaments), and SYTOX Green (nuclei). Ovaries are essential to the female vertebrate reproductive system. Homologous to the male testes, the ovaries secrete a number of hormones, including the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone.
