Hints for Slide CRR 08.  

General hints for all slides.

SAQ Slide Index.

Look at the specimen without your microscope. Note the size. Note the specimen's smooth, curved surface (1); the straight edge (2) is a cut across the specimen).   Under the microscope . . . Note that the curved edge (1) is marked by a thin, acidophilic boundary layer. Note the composition of the parenchyma. Numerous roughly-circular patches (3) packed with very many small cells with round nuclei. Background texture (4) that is more acidophilic than the patches noted above, but also containing very many small cells with round nuclei. Occasional acidophilic masses (5).    Among the various organs considered during CRR, which ones have features consistent with observations above?   Hints on the next page are a bit more pointed.  Don't look unless you are stuck. More hints.
