Mouse Oocyte Electron Micrograph

Surface of a mouse oocyte This transmission electron micrograph shows the cortex of a mouse oocyte that was undergoing fertilization. Microvilli are present on the oocyte's surface and the zona pellucida is visible surrounding the oocyte.

The scale bar is 1 micron (Stain - Osmium)

NCBI Organism Classification: Mus musculus

Cell Type: oocyte

Cellular Component: cell cortex, microvillus, zona pellucida
