Epididymis, light micrograph
Epididymis, light micrograph. The lumen of the duct (white) is lined with pseudostratified epithelium (pink), which is made up of columnar cells with elongated nuclei and rounded basal cells with circular nuclei. The purple fibres extending into the lumen are stereocilia. The duct is surrounded by a layer of smooth muscle (yellow). Magnification: x120 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of the epididymis, a vital component of the male reproductive system. The image reveals a mesmerizing view of the lumen of the duct, depicted in striking white, which is lined with pseudostratified epithelium in an enchanting shade of pink. The columnar cells within this lining possess elongated nuclei, while their basal counterparts exhibit circular nuclei. Drawing our attention further into the image are vibrant purple fibers extending into the lumen - these delicate structures are known as stereocilia. Surrounding this remarkable duct is a layer of smooth muscle that gleams in a radiant yellow hue. With its magnification set at x120 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate and marvel at the complexity and beauty found within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder that even on such microscopic scales, life unfolds with astonishing precision. This extraordinary visual representation not only highlights key aspects of cell biology but also provides valuable insights into healthy reproduction and anatomy. By capturing these normal anatomical features with meticulous detail, Science Photo Library continues to contribute to our understanding and appreciation for biological wonders like never before.
