Connective Collection

Connective tissue fibres
Connective tissue. False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of bundles of collagen and elastic fibres which form part of the connective tissue

Coloured SEM of collagen connective tissue fibres
Collagen connective tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of connective tissue formed by bundles of wavy collagen fibres. Red blood cells (red) are also seen

Upper body anatomy
MODEL RELEASED. Upper body anatomy. Mans upper body overlaid with an artwork of the heart and the blood vessels and musculature of the chest and neck

Stomach wall, SEM
Stomach wall. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a freeze- fractured fold in the stomach wall

Lactating breast tissue, SEM

Cornea. Light micrograph of a section through a cornea, the transparent region at the front of the eye. The outer surface of the cornea is a stratified epithelium (dark pink)

Cornea, SEM
Cornea. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a cornea, the transparent region on the outer surface of the eye. The front of the eye is at top

Uterine fibroid, MRI scan

Ovarian artery, SEM
Ovarian artery. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an ovarian artery that has been freeze-fractured to show internal details

Arteriole and red blood cells, SEM
Arteriole. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cross-section through a small, thin- walled artery known as an arteriole

"Exploring the Intricate Web of Connective Tissues: A Journey through SEM Images" Delving into the microscopic world, we uncover a fascinating realm tissues that form an intricate network within our bodies. Through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), these images offer glimpses into the diverse structures and functions they serve. Starting with connective tissue fibers, we witness their remarkable arrangement resembling a finely woven tapestry. These resilient fibers provide strength and support to various organs and body parts, ensuring stability in our upper body anatomy. Moving on to fat cells captured under SEM, we observe their unique morphology. Some images reveal empty fat cells, reminding us of the dynamic nature of adipose tissue as it fluctuates in response to energy storage or release. Venturing deeper into our internal systems, SEM unveils captivating views of the intestinal lining. The delicate folds and microvilli present here play crucial roles in nutrient absorption and digestion processes within our stomach walls – another marvel showcased by SEM imagery. Shifting focus towards lactating breast tissue, SEM exposes its intricate architecture responsible for milk production during breastfeeding. This glimpse reminds us of the incredible capabilities of female reproductive organs like fallopian tubes – depicted through stunning SEM visuals that showcase their complex structure. As we explore this mesmerizing world hidden from plain sight, these captivating images remind us that beneath our skin lies an interconnected web facilitating vital bodily functions. From providing structural support to storing energy reserves or enabling reproduction processes – connective tissues truly embody the essence of unity within our biological framework.
