|
|
 |
In this survey image of the palatine tonsil, a portion of the covering epithelium is evident at upper left. Note the circular profiles of lymphoid nodules, some with lighter-staining centers, subjacent to the epithelium. The lymphoid nodules surround a tonsillar crypt, a pale staining space containing some cellular debris. |
