Cross-section of the small intestine of mouse (mus musculus) close to the duodenum. The lumen of the gut is at the top of each image. The first and last images were taken at 100x while the second and third showing villi of the epithelium lining the gut at 400x. Purple dots in the middle of each cell are the nucleus of each epithelial cell and pink is the cytoplasm of each cell.
The slide was prepared at the lab of the university, as part of a practical session, but the pictures were taken using my personal light microscope at home with a regular camera.
