Prostate corpora amylacea, light micrograph

---

Light micrograph of numerous corpora amylacea (singular: corpus amylaceous), which are small bodies found inside prostate glands. The corpora amylacea are the numerous round to oval or irregularly shaped pink structures. The bottom of the picture includes the lining cells of the prostate gland (the dark blue dots) that the corpora are present within, and the most bottom part of the picture is the pink fibrous tissue around the prostate gland. Corpora amylacea are often seen by pathologists trying to diagnose diseases by examining prostate tissue microscopically. The presence of corpora amylacea is completely normal and does not itself indicate any particular disease. Haematoxylin and eosin stained tissue section. Magnification: 100x when printed at 10cm.
