Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Choroid layer of the eye, SEM
Choroid layer of the eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through the choroid layer of the eye. A pigment cell (dark brown) is at upper centre. The choroid layer lies behind the sclera (white of the eye) and in front of the retina. It is highly vascular and supplies blood to the back of the eye. It is pigmented to absorb excessive light, preventing internal reflections that would form multiple images on the retina. Magnification: x1100 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the choroid layer in the human eye. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this false-colored image reveals the remarkable details of this vital ocular structure. The choroid layer, positioned between the sclera and retina, plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal vision. Highly vascularized, it serves as a conduit for supplying blood to the back of the eye. This rich blood supply ensures that essential nutrients and oxygen reach delicate retinal cells, supporting their proper function. In addition to its vascular nature, another notable feature of the choroid layer is its pigmentation. The presence of pigment cells within this layer acts as an effective shield against excessive light entering the eye. By absorbing surplus light, these pigmented cells prevent internal reflections that could lead to multiple images forming on our retina. At first glance, this SEM image may appear abstract due to its false coloring technique; however, it offers us a glimpse into one of nature's marvels—the intricacies of our visual system. With a magnification level of x1100 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the biological complexity and aesthetic allure found within our own bodies. Captured by Science Photo Library with scientific precision and artistic flair, this print invites viewers into an awe-inspiring exploration at microscopic scales—a testament to humanity's ongoing fascination with understanding ourselves from every angle imaginable.
