Islets of Langerhans

This immunofluorescence slide nicely displays the relative locations of beta and alpha cells within the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas from a mouse. The beta cells (green), which produce insulin, are typically located in the center of the islets while the alpha cells (red), which produce glucagon, are located on the periphery.
