Glass Frame : Fallopian tube
Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Fallopian tube
Fallopian tube. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the epithelium of a fallopian tube (oviduct), one of two muscular tubes connecting the ovary to the uterus (womb). There are two different types of epithelial columnar cells: ciliated (yellow, hair-like) and secretory (orange). The beat of the ciliated cells facilitates the transport of the ovum (egg) from the ovary towards the uterus. The secretory cells are covered by a vast number of microvilli and secrete substances that maintain a moist environment and provide nutrients to the ovum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a fallopian tube, captured through the lens of a scanning electron microscope. The fallopian tube, also known as an oviduct, is a vital component of the female reproductive system. It serves as one of two muscular tubes that connect the ovary to the uterus. The image reveals two distinct types of epithelial columnar cells within the fallopian tube: ciliated and secretory cells. The ciliated cells, depicted in vibrant yellow hues resembling delicate hair-like structures, play a crucial role in facilitating the transportation of eggs from the ovary towards the uterus. Their rhythmic beating propels these precious ova along their journey. Contrasting with their ciliated counterparts are secretory cells portrayed in striking orange tones. These specialized cells are adorned with countless microvilli and secrete substances that create a moist environment while providing essential nutrients for developing eggs. Through this stunning visual representation, we gain insight into both form and function within this complex biological system. This photograph not only highlights its scientific significance but also captivates viewers with its artistic appeal. Science Photo Library has once again succeeded in capturing nature's wonders at microscopic levels, offering us an awe-inspiring glimpse into our own anatomy and reproduction process.
