Epididymis, SEM

Epididymis. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze fracture through the epididymis. Immature sperm (bright pink at top) are seen in the tubule lumen. Also seen are stereocilia (hair-like structures), which aid in the absorption of excess fluid. Magnification: x1750 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 coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals a freeze fracture through this anatomical structure, providing an up-close look at its inner workings. At first glance, one's attention is drawn to the bright pink immature sperm located at the top of the tubule lumen. These tiny cells represent the potential for new life and serve as a reminder of the importance of healthy reproduction. Surrounding them are stereocilia, hair-like structures that play a crucial role in absorbing excess fluid within the epididymis. The magnification level used in printing this image allows for an impressive level of detail, with every minuscule feature clearly visible. This SEM photograph serves as both an educational tool and a testament to scientific advancement in understanding human anatomy. By capturing such precise imagery, Science Photo Library enables us to appreciate not only our own bodies but also gain insight into how they function on a microscopic scale. This particular print offers valuable information about male reproductive health while highlighting the beauty found within our biological systems.
