On the left I see orange striations on a background of beige sky. On the right a multiform, stratified array of columnar to cuboidal, anucleate, “punched out” cells. One atypical cell appears to have lost its architecture. A foreign organism stands between the two, suggesting the forms may be been influenced by it.
A man on a farm in Connecticut once told me “When you describe things, describe what you see: the rocks are yellow.”
Starting a pathology residency, that sentence resonates on an hourly basis.
