Uterus cells, TEM
Uterus cells. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of endometrial cells (yellow) from the uterus. These cells form the endometrium, the epithelial tissue lining inside the uterus. This is a vertical section through the cells, revealing the nuclei (pink) and the columnar shape of the cells. Across top is the top of the cells, forming the inner surface of the uterus, with a layer of brush-like cilia. Below the endometrium, there is a layer of connective tissue (red/green). The endometrium tissue increases in thickness until it detaches and is lost during a womans menstrual period. It then regrows. Magnification: x2000 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of uterus cells, as seen through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image reveals a colored view of endometrial cells in yellow, which compose the inner lining of the uterus known as the endometrium. A vertical section allows us to observe their columnar shape and pink nuclei. At the top, we can admire brush-like cilia that form a layer on the inner surface of the uterus. Beneath this remarkable epithelial tissue lies a layer of connective tissue depicted in red and green hues. The thickness of the endometrium increases over time until it eventually detaches during menstruation, only to regenerate again afterwards. This natural process is crucial for reproductive health in females. With a magnification level set at x2000 when printed 10cm wide, this photograph provides an extraordinary glimpse into our biological makeup. It offers insights into histology and highlights key elements such as cellular structure, nucleus composition, and ciliated epithelium within the uterine environment. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment from within our own bodies with this stunning representation of female reproductive anatomy.
