Electron Micrographs of Oocytes in Neonatal Mouse Ovaries

  • A - Micrograph of an oocyte within a germline cyst from PND1 showing a well defined Balbiani body (arrow) with Golgi surrounded by mitochondria.
  • B - Micrograph of two oocytes from PND3 (top oocyte in a newly formed primordial follicle and bottom oocyte still within a germline cyst) with Balbiani bodies (arrows).
  • C - Micrograph of an oocyte within a primordial follicle at PND7 again showing a Balbiani body (arrow).
  • D - Higher-power view of Golgi from oocyte in C showing stacks of vesicles arranged in a circular structure.
  • E - Highly magnified image of mitochondria and associated ER with darkly stained potential nuage.
  • F - Oocyte within primary follicle with mitochondria and ER evenly distributed throughout the cytoplasm.

Legend

  • BB - Balbiani body
  • M - mitochondria
  • n - nucleus
  • Nu - nuage, germ line granules have an electron-dense perinuclear structure.
    • French, Nuage = "cloud"


Scale bars: A–C, F, 5 microns; D, 1 microns; E, 0.5 microns.
