Sperm whale tissue analysis. Tissue sample from a dead sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) sliced by a microtome. The thin slices are shown here floating in water in readiness to be mounted onto a microscope slide. Scientists will study the tissue specimen under a microscope. The sample came from a dead male sperm whale that was found on Henne Strand, Jutland, Denmark. The specimen measured 14 meters in length and weighed an estimated 30 tonnes.
