Ovary
The surface of the ovary shows the position and size of the smallest follicles, the primordial and primary unilaminar follicles, located just beneath the tunica albuginea. Larger follicles (primary multilaminar and secondary follicles) are located deeper in the cortex. Follicles are epithelial structures that house developing oocytes, the germ cells. 100x

Germinal epithelium >
The germinal epithelium, the surface layer of the serosa, is located on the periphery of the ovary at the tips of the arrows. Tunica albuginea is the dense connective tissue layer beneath the serosa.
