This picture shows a close-up of the lobules and it is easy to see all the intralobular ducts (red arrow). In a lactating gland, the space inbetween the intralobular ducts are filled with acini.

There are interlobular excretory ducts (blue arrow) situated inbetween the lobules. Some white-looking, adipose tissue is also seen.
