Adrenal cortex
Zona glomerulosa is located just beneath the dense, irregular connective tissue capsule and contains round clusters of cells. Zona fasciculata, the middle layer, possesses typical steroid-secreting cells with a vacuolated cytoplasm produced by extraction of lipid during tissue processing. These droplets contain cholesterol and other lipids for steroid hormone synthesis. 400x
