Prostate corpora amylacea, light micrograph

---

Light micrograph of corpora amylacea (singular: corpus amylaceous), which are small bodies found inside prostate glands. The 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: 400x when printed at 10cm.
