Jigsaw Puzzle : Bladder stone, SEM
Jigsaw Puzzles From Science Photo Library
Bladder stone, SEM
Bladder stone. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a fractured bladder stone. Bladder stones are crystalline masses that form from the minerals (ammonium phosphate or calcium oxalate) and proteins which naturally occur in urine. These types of stones are much less common than kidney stones. 95 per cent of all bladder stones occur in men, most of whom have an enlarged prostate gland or a urinary tract infection (UTI). Magnification: x500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a bladder stone in all its intricate detail. Under the scanning electron microscope, this false-colored image reveals the crystalline nature of the stone, which forms from minerals and proteins naturally present in urine. Unlike kidney stones, bladder stones are relatively uncommon but can cause significant discomfort and health complications. Predominantly affecting men, with 95 percent of cases occurring in males, these stones often develop due to an enlarged prostate gland or urinary tract infections. The enlargement of the prostate obstructs normal urine flow, leading to mineral buildup within the bladder over time. At a magnification of x500 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image offers a glimpse into the internal world of our bodies. It highlights both the beauty and complexity found within our own anatomy while also shedding light on potential disorders that can arise. The presence of such abnormal structures serves as a reminder of how crucial it is to prioritize urological health care. By understanding conditions like urolithiasis (the formation of urinary calculi) and seeking appropriate medical attention for related symptoms or risk factors, we can work towards maintaining optimal well-being. This visually striking photograph not only captures scientific curiosity but also emphasizes the importance of early detection and treatment in preventing further complications associated with bladder stones.
