Jigsaw Puzzle : Eye lens, SEM
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Eye lens, SEM
Eye lens. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of cells from the lens (crystalline lens) of the eye. The cells are in a stacked linear, fibre-like arrangement. The transparency of the lens is thought to arise from this regular interlocking arrangement, as well as the absence of nuclei and the cells mainly containing the protein crystallin. The lens (found at the front of the eye) focuses light on to the light-sensitive cells in the retina at the back of the eye. Magnification: x2000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an eye lens, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals cells from the crystalline lens of the eye arranged in a stacked linear, fiber-like pattern. It is this regular interlocking arrangement that contributes to the lens's transparency, along with the absence of nuclei within these cells. Composed mainly of protein crystallin, these specialized cells play a crucial role in focusing light onto the light-sensitive cells located at the back of our eyes' retina. The photograph offers us a glimpse into one of nature's remarkable mechanisms for clear vision and healthy sight. By magnifying it 2000 times and printing it at 10 centimeters wide, Science Photo Library has allowed us to appreciate every minute detail present in this microscopic world. With its vibrant colors and stunning clarity, this SEM image not only serves as an invaluable tool for biologists studying ocular anatomy but also captivates viewers with its artistic appeal. It reminds us that even on such minuscule scales, there exists immense complexity and beauty waiting to be explored. Whether you are fascinated by biology or simply intrigued by visual wonders, this print is sure to leave you marveling at the intricacies hidden within our own eyesight.
