This image is captured from a histology slide for a section of the human tongue showing a number of taste buds; the gustatory receptors responsible for taste. The road that cuts in the middle of the picture is a groove that extends from the surface of the tongue and runs deeply within the tissue and is called 鈥渃rypt鈥�. This image is one of a large collection of slides for different body tissues captured as a part of an educational research project which aimed to improve students' learning and understanding of histology through building up an in-house histology atlas.
