Low magnification light 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. Magnification: x36 when printed at 10 centimetres across.
