Junction between Stomach and Duodenum
Pyloric and Brunner's Glands

Notes

The transition from stomach (on the right) to small intestine (on the left) is evident here, but only upon careful inspection, preferably at higher-magnification

Note how the mucosal surface changes from pits (in pylorus, on right) to villi (in duodenum, on left), and how mucosal glands (pylorus, on right) give way to submucosal glands (Brunner's glands, on left).
