Hamster oocyte and cumulus cells. This scanning electron micrograph shows a hamster oocyte. The oocyte is not directly visible but lies beneath the zona pellucida. The surface of the zona pellucida can be seen between the cumulus cells that have remained attached to it. The sample was fixed using glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide, dehydrated in ethanol, critically point dried, coated with gold, and examined in a Phillips XL30 FEG scanning electron microscope.
