Retina blood vessel and nerve cells
Retina cells. Fluorescent light micrograph of cells in the retina, the light-sensitive membrane that lines the back of the eyeball. A blood vessel runs from left to right, and numerous other branches are seen. Astrocyte glial cells are yellow. The glial cells provide structural support to the nerve cells that send visual signals to the brain. The tissue has been tagged with fluorescent markers specific to certain proteins. The yellow marks the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) found in glial cells. Blue marks platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) found in blood vessels, and red is the structural protein actin

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate network of blood vessels and nerve cells within the retina, the light-sensitive membrane at the back of our eyeballs. The image is a fluorescent light micrograph that has been tagged with specific markers to highlight different proteins present in this complex structure. In this vibrant composition, we can observe a blood vessel running horizontally across the frame, accompanied by numerous branching branches. The yellow hue represents astrocyte glial cells, which play a crucial role in providing structural support to the nerve cells responsible for transmitting visual signals to our brain. The use of fluorescent markers allows us to distinguish between different proteins within this biological masterpiece. Blue marks indicate platelet-endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) found in blood vessels, while red highlights actin, a structural protein essential for maintaining cellular integrity. This mesmerizing image not only provides insight into the anatomy and biology of our visual system but also serves as a reminder of its remarkable complexity and functionality. It offers an opportunity to appreciate the wonders of nature's design and marvel at how these microscopic components work together harmoniously to enable our sense of sight.
