Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Light micrograph of normal human compact bone
Light micrograph of a cross-section of normal human compact bone tissue, as found in the shafts of the long bones such as the femur. The rings correspond to concentric bands of calcified material called lamellae. They are centered around an Haversian canal, a channel for the nerves and blood & lymph vessels which runs the entire length of the bone. Each of the small white areas is a lacuna, a hole in the bone which is occupied by an osteocyte or bone cell. The active form of the osteocyte is the osteoblast cell, responsible for bone formation. Each canal and its surrounding lamellae form whats called an Haversian system. Magnification: x200 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing view of normal human compact bone tissue. The intricate details captured in this light micrograph provide a glimpse into the complex structure of our bones, specifically those found in the long bones like the femur. The concentric rings visible in the image represent lamellae, which are bands of calcified material. These lamellae encircle an essential component known as the Haversian canal. Serving as a vital channel for nerves and blood & lymph vessels, these canals run throughout the entire length of the bone. Each small white area depicted here is referred to as a lacuna - tiny holes within the bone that house osteocytes or bone cells. Among them, we find active osteoblast cells responsible for bone formation. Together, each Haversian canal and its surrounding lamellae form what is scientifically termed an Haversian system. This remarkable photograph was taken at 200 times magnification using a 35mm size lens by Science Photo Library. Through this visually stunning image, we gain insight into both the beauty and complexity of our skeletal structure. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are and highlights the fascinating world that lies beneath our skin's surface.
