Ovarian tissue, SEM
Ovarian tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through the medulla of an ovary showing blood vessels (pink). The ovary stores a womans eggs, releasing one each month at ovulation. The medulla is the central region of an organ, in the ovaries it is mainly composed of connective tissue and blood vessels and does not contain any eggs

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of ovarian tissue, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the complex network of blood vessels that permeate through the medulla, the central region of this vital organ. Ovaries play a crucial role in female reproduction, serving as storehouses for eggs and releasing one each month during ovulation. The false-colored image provides an up-close view of this microscopic world within our bodies. It highlights the connective tissue and blood vessels that make up most of the medulla while emphasizing its absence of eggs. This visual representation offers a glimpse into the inner workings of our reproductive system, shedding light on its anatomical intricacies. Through scientific exploration and technological advancements like SEM, we gain a deeper understanding of how our bodies function at a cellular level. This photograph serves as a testament to both the wonders of biology and human ingenuity in capturing these mesmerizing details. As we marvel at this magnified image, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize its significance in advancing medical knowledge. Science Photo Library continues to contribute invaluable resources like this print to further research and education in various fields related to human anatomy and reproduction.
