Whole ovary histo-architecture during estrus stage of the cycle in one month old Swiss mice. A Small area of OSE shows the presence of columnar epithelial cells giving highly folded multi-layered appearance (box). B Under higher magnification a cohort of primordial follicles (PF) are observed in the area where OSE exhibits proliferation. C-F The PF have cytoplasmic connections (arrow) between them. At places one can observe PF just below the OSE. PF assembly is evident in the OSE (circle). Bar: A-100μm, B-F-20μm.
