Fine Art Print : False-colour SEM of 3 neurones of cerebral cortex
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
False-colour SEM of 3 neurones of cerebral cortex
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing three neurones (nerve cells) of the human cerebral cortex - the outer grey matter of the brain. Neurones exist in varying sizes & shapes throughout the nervous system. A basic neurone consists of a cell body with processes of two types: a single axon (the output, effector nerve fibre) and one or more dendrites, smaller, input processes that serve as sensory receptors. In the cerebral cortex, neurones of comparable structure are arranged in a variable number of distinct layers. Magnification: x3, 600 at 6x7cm size, x1, 600 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of three neurones found in the cerebral cortex, the outer grey matter of the human brain. Through false-colour scanning electron microscopy (SEM), these nerve cells are depicted in stunning detail, revealing their varying sizes and shapes that exist throughout our nervous system. A basic neurone consists of a cell body with two types of processes: a single axon, responsible for transmitting signals to other cells, and one or more dendrites, which act as sensory receptors receiving incoming information. In the cerebral cortex, similar structured neurones are organized into different layers. The magnification used for this SEM image is truly remarkable - at 6x7cm size, it reaches an astonishing x3,600 magnification; while at 35mm size it achieves x1,600 magnification. This level of detail allows us to appreciate the complexity and intricacy present within our own bodies. As we explore this mesmerizing photograph further, we gain insight into the wonders of our nervous system's anatomy. The false-colour technique employed here enhances our understanding by highlighting key features such as nerve cells' grey matter composition. Captured by Science Photo Library and not intended for commercial use, this print serves as a reminder of both the scientific advancements made possible through imaging technologies and the awe-inspiring beauty hidden within every corner of our being.
