Human egg. Light micrograph of a human egg (oocyte) surrounded by cumulus corona cells. These cells support and nourish the developing egg in the ovary, forming a corona radiata (radiating crown) around it. When the egg leaves the ovary, some of the corona radiata remains attached to the egg, falling away after fertilisation. Magnification unknown.
