✦ Synopsis

The progression of the prophase stages of meiosis in human foetal ovaries is reported from a series of aborted foetuses spanning the first two trimesters of gestation. A surface-spreading technique allowed cells to be examined at both light and electron microscope levels. The pachytene stage was specifically examined for evidence of synaptic or other abnormalities. Two observations of interest are the relatively high incidence with which errors of pairing occur and second the state of thickening observed when such unpaired axes are stained with silver.

Use of the silver-NOR method to study the nucleolar organizers in human oocytes demonstrates that topographic and quantitative variations occur during meiotic prophase. In the oogonia nucleolus the nucleolar organizers are dispersed, whereas beginning at leptotene and throughout the remaining stages

## Abstract This investigation describes some morphological, age‐related changes in different compartments and cells of the human thymus. Scanning electron microscopic observations were done on human thymus samples obtained from four young and eight elderly patients during thoracic surgery and/or d
