Greetings Card : False-colour SEM of connective tissue
Cards from Science Photo Library
False-colour SEM of connective tissue
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of human connective tissue, showing collagen fibres, which appear as an irregular mass of yellow strands. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are interspersed between the fibres. Connective tissue provides metabolic and structural support for other tissues and organs throughout the body; more distinct & specialised systems include bone, blood, tendons & ligaments. Fibres comprising connective tissue are of 3 types: collagen, reticular & elastic. Where properties of strength & elasticity are required (as with tendons & ligaments), the fibres are densely & regularly packed. Magnification: X 440 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures the intricate beauty of human connective tissue. The image reveals a mesmerizing irregular mass of yellow strands, which represent collagen fibres - the building blocks of this essential tissue. Interspersed between these fibres are vibrant red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes. Connective tissue plays a vital role in providing both metabolic and structural support to various tissues and organs throughout the body. It forms the foundation for more specialized systems like bone, blood, tendons, and ligaments. Within connective tissue, three types of fibers exist: collagen, reticular, and elastic. In areas where strength and elasticity are crucial - such as tendons and ligaments - the fibers densely pack together in an organized manner. This arrangement ensures optimal functionality for these critical structures. At a magnification of X 440 at 35mm size, this SEM print allows us to appreciate the remarkable complexity hidden within our bodies on a microscopic level. It serves as a reminder that even though we may not see it with our naked eye, connective tissue is an integral part of our anatomy. This awe-inspiring photo from Science Photo Library showcases nature's artistry while highlighting the importance of understanding connective tissue's role in maintaining our overall health and well-being.
