Light micrograph of cystically atrophic prostate glands. The lining cells of these atrophic prostate glands have lost most of their cytoplasm, making them smaller than normal prostate gland cells. Their nuclei (dark purple dots) lie along the edges of cystically dilated spaces (white), between which Is prostatic stroma (pink). The image shows an intersection of three such cystically atrophic prostate glands. Haematoxylin and eosin stained tissue section. Magnification: 200x when printed at 10cm.
