Confocal scanning laser micrographs of cortical granules in mouse oocytes labeled with lectin LCA. (A) An equatorial section of unfertilized zona free oocyte and (B) a three-dimensional projection of unfertilized zona intact oocyte showing the cortical granules (in red), the second cortical granule free domain (arrows), and the pre-fertilization release (arrowhead).
