(1 of 1)
Intact ovum photographed by phase microscopy. Note the prominence of the zona pellucida with its adherent cells and debris. The larger polar body is clearly seen at the lower margin of the cleavage plane. The nulcei are less clear than in figure 2.
Fig. 1. Hertig, Rock, Adams, and Mulligan, 1954
Intact ovum photographed by ordinary microscopy. Note the smaller polar body between the two blastomeres at the upper margin of the cleavage plane. The larger polar body below is not clearly in focus. The zona is apparently defective at the lower surface.
Fig. 2. Hertig, Rock, Adams, and Mulligan, 1954
Serial section showing both polar bodies lying in the plane of cleavage.
Fig. 3. Hertig, Rock, Adams, and Mulligan, 1954
Serial section showing masses of nuclear and granular material lying beneath both blastomeres but within the zona.
Fig. 4. Hertig, Rock, Adams, and Mulligan, 1954
Mid-serial section showing nuclear detail in both blastomeres. The difference in size and shape of the two cells is apparent. The zona is defective on the lower margin in the picture.
Fig. 5. Hertig, Rock, Adams, and Mulligan, 1954
Serial section showing additional nuclear detail. The lobulated appearance of the nucleus on the right may represent a degenerative process.
Fig. 6. Hertig, Rock, Adams, and Mulligan, 1954
The upper or functional zone of the uterine mucosa is in the earliest recognizable secretory phase, designated as 16-day endometrium.
Fig. 7. Hertig, Rock, Adams, and Mulligan, 1954
The basal portion of the mucosa is somewhat more advanced, corresponding to early 17-day secretory endometrium.
Fig. 8. Hertig, Rock, Adams, and Mulligan, 1954
The mucosa of the normal Fallopian tube has tall ciliated columnar epithelium.
