Human adrenal gland cortex and medulla, light micrograph

---

Light micrograph of an adrenal gland stained with a silver method to demonstrate reticular fibres. The cortex occupies the left third of the image. The rest is adrenal medulla. The different thickness and orientation of the cellular cords between the cortex and the medulla clearly stand out. The empty space at far right is a vein.
