Light micrograph of human ovum (egg) and sperm. The ovum is much larger than the sperm and is surrounded by protective cumulus cells around the outside surface (yellow). The membrane surrounding the o...

This fluorescent micrograph shows stem cells labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP) located at the base of the colonic crypt in a section of mouse colon. The stem cells are surrounded by numerou...
