Low power light microscope micrograph showing a young thymus. The organization into lobules is clearly seen. In each lobule, the peripheral cortex appears more stained, due to the high density of T-lymphocyte precursor cells. In the paler centre of each lobule there are many Hassall's corpuscles. On the right side of the thymus there are blood vessels and nerves. The scale bar corresponds to 2 mm.
