Human lymph, obtained after a thoracic duct injury. Lymph has a composition similar but not identical to that of blood plasma.

The lymph percolates through the lymph node tissue and exits via an efferent lymph vessel. An efferent lymph vessel may directly drain into one of the (right or thoracic) lymph ducts, or may empty into another lymph node as its afferent lymph vessel.

[3] Special cameras detect the spread of tracer along lymph channels to outlying lymph nodes.
