Intestinal blood vessels, SEM
Intestinal blood vessels. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze fracture section through the lining of the colon, showing red blood cells (purple) inside the blood vessels of the lamina propria (green). This tissue layer lies beneath the epithelium (surface layer) of the intestines (not seen). The blood supply in the lamina propria transports the products of digestion. Magnification: x750 when printed 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of intestinal blood vessels in stunning detail. Taken using a scanning electron microscope, this false-colored image reveals the inner workings of our digestive system. The freeze fracture section through the lining of the colon unveils a vibrant display of red blood cells flowing within the green-hued blood vessels of the lamina propria. Beneath the surface layer known as epithelium, lies this crucial tissue layer responsible for transporting digestion products throughout our body. With a magnification level of x750 when printed at 10 centimeters tall, every minuscule detail is brought to life. The complexity and beauty captured in this photograph serve as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are. It highlights both the delicate nature and resilience found within us all. This snapshot offers an invaluable glimpse into what keeps us healthy and functioning on a daily basis. Whether you have an interest in biology or simply appreciate awe-inspiring imagery, this print is sure to captivate your imagination. Display it proudly as a testament to human anatomy and marvel at its ability to sustain life through efficient digestion and circulation systems.
