Retina of the eye, light micrograph C016 / 0528
Retina of the eye. Light micrograph of a section through the retina from a human eye. From top down: nerve fibres of the optic nerve and a blood vessel; several layers of neurons (nerve cells) and synapses (nerve junctions); vertically arranged photoreceptor neurons terminating as rods or cones. These make contact with the thin, brown pigmented epithelium. Beneath this is a wide zone making up the heavily pigmented and vascularised choroid, and finally the tough, collagen-rich and protective sclera. Magnification: x139, when printed 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the retina, a vital component of our visual system. Through a light micrograph, we are granted a glimpse into the complex layers and structures that enable us to perceive the world around us. Starting from the top, we can observe nerve fibers of the optic nerve intertwined with a delicate blood vessel. As we descend further, several layers of neurons and synapses come into view, highlighting their crucial role in transmitting electrical signals within our visual pathway. These vertically arranged photoreceptor neurons terminate as either rods or cones, forming connections with the thin brown pigmented epithelium. Beneath this remarkable network lies a wide zone comprising the heavily pigmented and vascularized choroid. This layer provides nourishment to maintain optimal retinal function. Finally, serving as an outer protective shield is the tough sclera rich in collagen fibers. With a magnification of x139 when printed at 10 centimeters high, this image allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and scientific significance. It serves as a testament to our understanding of human anatomy while reminding us of how intricately designed our bodies truly are. This stunning photograph is brought to you by MICROSCAPE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY – an invaluable resource for those seeking knowledge about biology, histology, cytology, and all things related to cell structure and function within living organisms.
