Electron micrograph of blood capillaries in muscle
Blood capillaries. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of a network of blood capillaries from striated (skeletal) muscle. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body - barely wider than the blood cells that pass through them. Their thin walls consist of a single layer of endothelial cells that allows dissolved nutrients and oxygen to pass out into the surrounding tissue. In muscles blood capillaries are intimately associated with muscle cells, providing a variable flow of blood according to need. Magnification unknown

Discover the intricacies of the human body with our latest addition to the Media Storehouse Poster Prints collection. This captivating image showcases an electron micrograph of blood capillaries in muscle, taken by the Science Photo Library. Coloured scanning electron micrograph reveals the intricate network of these tiny vessels, essential for delivering nutrients and oxygen to muscle tissue. Bring the wonders of science into your home or office with this beautiful, high-quality poster print. Order yours today and ignite curiosity and inspiration.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 59.4cm x 40.5cm (23.4" x 15.9")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of blood capillaries found in striated (skeletal) muscle. Colored scanning electron microscopy has beautifully captured the delicate nature of these tiny blood vessels, which are barely wider than the blood cells that flow through them. The thin walls of capillaries consist of a single layer of endothelial cells, allowing essential nutrients and oxygen to diffuse into the surrounding tissue. In muscles, these blood capillaries play a vital role by closely interacting with muscle cells, ensuring an optimal supply of blood based on demand. This dynamic relationship allows for efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients during physical activity or exercise. The magnification used to capture this image remains unknown but serves as a reminder that even at such microscopic levels, our bodies exhibit incredible complexity. This photograph not only highlights the beauty within our anatomy but also emphasizes the importance of understanding how our bodies function at various scales. It reminds us that beneath our skin lies an intricate web connecting every part of us, working tirelessly to sustain life itself. Science Photo Library brings forth this stunning visual representation without any commercial intentions; instead, it aims to inspire curiosity and appreciation for the wonders hidden within our own human body.
