Right: ovarian follicles, containing eggs and pre-eggs.
I can't tell you how long I've been wanting to do something like this. My technique leaves something to be desired, but I took these photos with my own little point-and-shoot; because they are my own images (though not my own slides), I am perhaps prouder of these blurs than I should be. :)

I think your pride is justified, personally.
Sperm seems to be brought up frequently on your blog.
Oh and great macros (as per usual!).
John- Wellllll, it kind of looks like I photographed something out of a textbook. Which I didn't. As I said, I've got to work on my technique, but for a first attempt, y'know. Yay. :)
Adam- that's 'cos sperm is FUNNY.
Technically, we were discussing semen last time, weren't we?
