Human egg. Light micrograph of a human secondary oocyte (mature egg),with its first polar body (oval,centre right). Before ovulation the egg undergoes meiotic division to create two cells: a secondary oocyte and a polar body. The polar body will degenerate,while the larger egg develops in preparation for fertilisation. Around the egg is the zona pellucida layer. Photographed at Cochin Hospital,Paris,France.
