EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Closed vocal cords" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of biology. Captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured micrograph showcases the closed vocal cords of a rat in stunning detail. Located within the larynx, these vital structures play a crucial role in sound production. When taut, as depicted in this image, they allow air from the lungs to pass through them and create various sounds. The vibrant colours bring life to these otherwise unseen anatomical features. The healthy state of these vocal cords is evident, showcasing their normal and functional anatomy. Every curve and fold has been meticulously captured by SUSUMU NISHINAGA's skilled lens. As we marvel at this image, it serves as a reminder of the complexity that lies beneath our skin. These tiny but powerful vocal folds are responsible for our ability to communicate through speech and song. Whether you have an interest in biology or simply appreciate the beauty found within nature's creations, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. It invites us to explore the wonders hidden within our own bodies while highlighting the incredible capabilities of even seemingly insignificant parts like vocal cords.
