Liver vein, SEM
Liver vein. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through liver tissue showing a branching vein. Numerous capillaries, veins and arteries supply and remove blood for the liver. The structure of the liver allows the blood to percolate through the tissue. At any one moment, the liver holds over 10 percent of the bodys blood supply. Magnification: x300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a liver vein captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a section of liver tissue, vividly displaying the branching structure of the vein. In this complex network, numerous capillaries, veins, and arteries work together to supply and remove blood for the liver's vital functions. The unique architecture of the liver allows blood to percolate through its tissue, facilitating efficient filtration and detoxification processes. Astonishingly, at any given moment, this remarkable organ holds over 10 percent of the body's entire blood supply. With a magnification level of x300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image provides an up-close view that unveils details not visible to the naked eye. The false coloring applied enhances our understanding of different components within the vascular system. This photograph serves as a testament to both biology and anatomy enthusiasts alike. Its histological significance lies in its ability to showcase how hepatocytes interact with their surrounding environment via these branched veins. It is an awe-inspiring reminder of nature's complexity and highlights just one aspect of what makes our bodies truly extraordinary.
