Epithelial tissue
1) Simple squamous epithelium Section of Bowmans capsule in the kidney (H&E) Flat epithelial cells with flat nuclei

2) Simple cubical epithelium Section of thyroid gland (H&E) Cubical cells with central nuclei

3) Simple columnar epithelium Section of gall bladder (H&E) Columnar tall cells with oval basal nuclei

3) Pseudostratified columnar ciliated epithelium Section of the trachea (H&E) Cells appear to form several layers. All cells reach the basement membrane, but not all of them reach the surface. Motile cilia cover cell apices except those of the light staining oval goblet cells. The deep[r nuclei belong to the short basal cells, and the more superficial oval nuclei belong to the columnar ciliated cells.

4) Stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium Section of a thin skin (H&E) The epithelium is formed of several layers; the basal is columnar cells, the middle layers are polygonal cells with central round nuclei, and the superficial ones are flat squamous cells with flattened nuclei

5) Stratified squamous keratinized epithelium Section of a thick skin (H&E) The epithelium is formed of several layers; the basal is columnar cells, the middle layers are polygonal cells with central round nuclei, and the superficial ones are flat squamous cells with flattened nuclei. There is a surface horny layer formed of keratin cells

6) Transtional epithelium Section of the urinary bladder (H&E) The epithelium is formed of several layers; the basal is columnar cells, the middle layers are polygonal cells with central round nuclei, and the superficial ones are cubical cells with rounded nuclei. Some cells are binucleate

7) Glandular cells Section of the pancreas (H&E) The pancreas contains an exocrine portion formed of acini and ducts, and an endocrine one represented by the islets of Langerhans. Pancreatic acini are lined by pyramidal cells with spherical nuclei, and basophilic cytoplasm.
