Nerve cell, SEM

Nerve cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a nerve cell (neuron). Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. Each nerve cell comprises a body surrounded by numerous extensions called dendrites. Dendrites collect information from other nerve cells or from sensory cells. Each neuron also has one process called an axon, which passes information to other nerve cells, or to effector cells such as muscle fibres.

Into the Mystic #2

In Scotland, between The River Garry and Loch Oich, near the Village of Invergarry is a magical unnamed magical mossy forest that looks like it's right out of a fairytale. On this cold December morning a rare event occurred. Cold temperatures, fog, and a high pressure front created perfect conditions for hoar frost to form. Before my very eyes, the forest transformed into a mystical sugar coated delight. You can see the beginnings of the frost coating the tree top canopies, delicately glazing the intricate branches
