Kidney glomeruli, SEM
Kidney glomeruli, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The cells that usually surround the glomeruli have been removed to reveal the coiled capillaries at the core of the glomeruli and the blood vessels that serve them. The function of the glomeruli is to filter waste products from the blood. After the reabsorption of certain substances elsewhere in the kidney, the liquid is transported to the bladder as urine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of kidney glomeruli, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The removal of surrounding cells allows us to witness the mesmerizing coiled capillaries at the core of these glomeruli, as well as the blood vessels that nourish them. Functioning as vital components of our excretory system, these glomeruli play a crucial role in filtering waste products from our blood. Once certain substances are reabsorbed elsewhere in the kidney, the resulting liquid is transported to our bladder as urine. The false colouring adds an artistic touch to this biological marvel, highlighting its complexity and significance within our anatomy. This image serves as a reminder of how intricately designed and interconnected our bodies truly are. As we delve into this microscopic world with the help of advanced technology like scanning electron microscopes (SEMs), we gain a deeper appreciation for the wonders hidden within us. It is through such scientific exploration and visual representation that we can better understand and marvel at nature's ingenuity. This remarkable photograph is brought to you by Science Photo Library, providing invaluable resources for those seeking knowledge about biology, anatomy, and various scientific disciplines.
