Skeletal muscle, SEM
Skeletal muscle. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a transverse section through skeletal muscle. The many muscle fibres (red) are seen, along with the elastic sheath (epimysium, purple) which surrounds them. This tissue is under voluntary control and is responsible for the movement of long bones. It is also known as striated muscle, because the regular arrangement of its contractile proteins forms a pattern of alternating light and dark bands (striations, not seen) across each fibre. Magnification: x200 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of skeletal muscle at a microscopic level. Through scanning electron micrograph (SEM) technology, we are granted a glimpse into the inner workings of this vital tissue responsible for our movement. The image reveals numerous muscle fibres, painted in vibrant red hues, which make up the bulk of skeletal muscle. Surrounding these fibres is an elastic sheath known as epimysium, depicted here in regal purple. This protective layer acts as a shield and provides support to the muscle fibres within. Skeletal muscle is unique in that it operates under voluntary control, allowing us to consciously move our long bones with precision and grace. Its striated appearance derives from the orderly arrangement of contractile proteins within each fibre, creating alternating light and dark bands called striations. At a magnification of x200 on a 6x7cm scale, this SEM image offers an intimate view into the complex world of muscular anatomy. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and functionality found within our own bodies. This remarkable photograph not only highlights the scientific significance behind skeletal muscles but also sparks curiosity about their role in locomotion and contraction. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity in capturing nature's wonders through advanced imaging techniques like SEM microscopy.
