Which ones are the Cowdry bodies?

The image in this article lacks explanation what really are the Cowdry bodies in it. Are they the pinkish circular spots, with chain-like (that is, with variation in thickness) dark borders around their circumference? Or perhaps the smaller, dark purplish spots? I'd guess it's the former, but I'm not sure. If so, are their dark borders part of the inclusion, or are they something separate from it? Mikael Häggström (talk) 10:53, 23 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I don't think it's useful for the article until it has an explanation. I've left a notice to the uploader, but an explanation from anyone would be highly appreciated. Mikael Häggström (talk) 18:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
