No control animals showed damage to the thymus. Animals exposed to 0.1 ppb atrazine or to -metolachlor (-met) had damage as shown in , with increasing frequencies of damage with exposure to Bicep II Magnum (atrazine + metolachlor, given to concentration of 0.1 ppb atrazine), and maximum damage with exposure to the pesticide mixture (Mix). Histological sections were 4 μm stained in Mallory’s trichrome stain. Scale bar = 0.5 mm for and
