Nerve bundle, SEM
Nerve bundle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured section through a bundle of myelinated nerve fibres. Myelin sheaths (yellow) can be seen surrounding the axons (blue). Perineurium (connective tissue, pink) surrounds the nerve bundle while endoneurium divides the individual fibres. Magnification: x1650 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a nerve bundle in all its intricate glory. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the image reveals a freeze-fractured section of myelinated nerve fibers, offering an up-close look at their fascinating structure. The vibrant colors used to highlight different components make this piece both visually stunning and scientifically informative. The myelin sheaths, depicted in yellow, encase the axons which are represented by shades of blue. These protective coverings play a crucial role in facilitating efficient electrical signal transmission within the nervous system. Surrounding the nerve bundle is the perineurium, shown in pink, serving as connective tissue that supports and shields these delicate fibers. Through careful examination, one can observe how endoneurium divides each individual fiber within this complex network. This microscopic view allows us to appreciate the intricacy and organization present within our own bodies. With a magnification of x1650 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this print truly captures the beauty hidden within our biological makeup. It serves as a reminder of the wonders that exist on even the smallest scale and highlights how science continues to unravel nature's mysteries through advanced imaging techniques like SEM. This remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library offers not only aesthetic appeal but also deepens our understanding of neurology and anatomy while showcasing cutting-edge scientific research.
