Motor neuron, SEM
Motor neuron. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of section through a motor neuron (nerve cell, dark blue) from the spinal cord, showing its nucleus (light blue, centre) and nucleolus (pink, centre). Motor neurones relay impulses from the central nervous system to muscle fibres. Magnification: x2600 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of motor neurons. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a section through a motor neuron, a vital component of our nervous system responsible for relaying impulses from the central nervous system to muscle fibers. The image showcases the remarkable details of this single nerve cell, colored in shades of blue and pink. The dark blue cell body stands out prominently, housing the nucleus at its center - depicted in light blue - which serves as the command center for cellular activities. Additionally, we can observe the nucleolus, portrayed in an eye-catching shade of pink, nestled within the nucleus. With a magnification level of x2600 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty inherent in our own anatomy. It provides valuable insights into neurology and histology by offering an up-close look at these essential components that make up our central nervous system. Whether you're fascinated by science or simply intrigued by the wonders hidden within our bodies, this stunning print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about how these microscopic structures play crucial roles in maintaining normal bodily functions.
