Compact bone, SEM
Compact bone. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured sample of compact bone from a knee joint. This type of bone is found in the walls of bones. The fracture plane has revealed channels (black, one at lower left) that may be lacunae, spaces that hold osteocytes, the cells responsible for the maintenance and growth of bone tissue. Magnification: x50 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of compact bone, providing a glimpse into the hidden world within our bodies. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a freeze-fractured sample of compact bone extracted from a knee joint. This specific type of bone forms the sturdy walls that protect and support our skeletal structure. Upon closer inspection, the fracture plane reveals an array of fascinating channels scattered throughout the image. These darkened spaces, known as lacunae, serve as reservoirs for osteocytes – specialized cells responsible for maintaining and promoting bone tissue growth. The vibrant pink hues add an artistic touch to this scientific marvel, highlighting both its aesthetic appeal and its significance in understanding human anatomy. The magnification level of x50 allows us to appreciate even the tiniest details at a 6x7cm size. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the complexity and resilience inherent in our bones. It serves as a testament to the remarkable intricacy found within our own bodies – a reminder that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to exploring ourselves on a microscopic level.
