Intestinal villi, light micrograph
Light micrograph of the villi (finger-like structures) in the duodenum (first part of the small bowel). The villi are seen here horizontally. The inner portions of the villi have blood vessels (small bright pink circles) which take in the nutrients absorbed by the cells on the surface of the villi. Haematoxylin and eosin stained tissue section. Magnification: 100x when printed at 10cm., by ZIAD M. EL-ZAATARI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
