Coloured SEM of intestine, showing coeliac disease
Coeliac disease. Coloured Scanning Electron Micro- graph (SEM) of the wall of the small intestine, showing coeliac disease. The human intestinal wall (mucosa) appears flat and atrophied due to the loss of villi which normally project from the wall. Large holes correspond to the openings of intestinal glands. Yellow particles are migrating leucocytes (white blood cells). Coeliac disease (or gluten enteropathy) is an uncommon genetic condition in which the lining of the intestine reacts to gluten, a protein found in cereals. This causes malabsorption, mineral and vitamin defic- iency. Magnification: x220 at 6x7cm size. x285 at 4x5ins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the small intestine, specifically highlighting coeliac disease. The image reveals the detrimental effects of this genetic condition on the intestinal wall's structure and function. Normally, the mucosa appears vibrant with villi projecting from its surface; however, in individuals with coeliac disease, these vital structures are lost, resulting in a flat and atrophied appearance. The presence of large holes within the intestinal wall corresponds to openings of intestinal glands. Additionally, migrating leucocytes or white blood cells can be observed as yellow particles throughout the image. Coeliac disease is triggered by an immune reaction to gluten—a protein commonly found in cereals—leading to malabsorption issues and deficiencies in essential minerals and vitamins. With a magnification level of x220 at 6x7cm size or x285 at 4x5ins, this microscopic photograph provides valuable insight into the intricate world of medicine and health care. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly minuscule abnormalities within our bodies can have profound consequences on our overall well-being. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this visually striking representation for educational purposes regarding coeliac disease and related subjects such as gluten enteropathy, malabsorption disorders, and gastrointestinal health.
