Ovary - Tunica Albuginea
Primordial follicles are located in the cortex just beneath the ovary thick outer connective tissue layer (tunica albuginea) and thin covering epithelium (germinal epithelium).
One layer of flattened follicular cells surround the oocyte (about 30 µm in diameter).
The nucleus of the oocyte is positioned eccentric in the cell. It appears very light and contains a prominent nucleolus.
Most organelles of the oocyte aggregate in the centre of the cell, where they form the vitelline body (probably not visible in any of the available preparations).
