Pancreas tissue, SEM
Pancreas tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of fractured pancreas tissue, showing numerous acinar cells, containing secretory zymogen granules. Digestive enzymes are secreted in the zymogen granules, and passed to the small intestine through the pancreatic ducts. Magnification: x1600 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing view of pancreas tissue, revealing its intricate details under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image is colored to enhance the visual experience and highlight the various components within this vital organ. The fractured pancreas tissue exhibits numerous acinar cells, which are responsible for producing and secreting digestive enzymes in zymogen granules. These granules play a crucial role in digestion as they transport these enzymes to the small intestine through pancreatic ducts. This microscopic snapshot offers an extraordinary glimpse into the inner workings of our excretory system. With a magnification of x1600 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty hidden within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder of how remarkable human biology truly is. The false-colored SEM image also provides valuable insights into histology and cytology by showcasing nucleus-rich sections that help researchers better understand cellular structures and functions. By studying such images, scientists gain knowledge about normal anatomy while exploring potential abnormalities or diseases related to pancreatic function. Steve Gschmeissner's expertise in capturing biological subjects with stunning clarity shines through once again in this breathtaking piece from Science Photo Library.
