Inner ear sensory hairs
Inner ear hair cells. Confocal light micrograph of V-shaped rows of hair cells (bright arcs) in the organ of Corti. This structure lies in the cochlea of the inner ear, and converts sound vibrations into nerve impulses. The hairs (stereocilia) are embedded in the basilar membrane. When sound waves arrive at this membrane from the middle ear, they cause it to vibrate. This pushes the hair cells against the overlying tectorial membrane (not seen). This triggers nerve impulses, which travel to the brain through the auditory nerve. Magnification unknown

Featuring an intriguing image of V-shaped rows of hair cells from Science Photo Library, these posters bring the complex beauty of the human body to life. Each print showcases the stunning detail of an inner ear hair cell, captured through confocal light microscopy. Ideal for educational settings, laboratories, or any space that appreciates the marvels of science. Immerse yourself in the microscopic world and ignite curiosity with our Inner Ear Hair Cells Poster Print from Media Storehouse.
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 44.5cm x 42cm (17.5" x 16.5")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of inner ear sensory hairs, specifically the inner ear hair cells. The image reveals V-shaped rows of these delicate hair cells, forming bright arcs within the organ of Corti. Nestled in the cochlea of the inner ear, this remarkable structure plays a crucial role in converting sound vibrations into nerve impulses. The stereocilia, or hairs, are embedded within the basilar membrane and react to incoming sound waves. As these waves reach the membrane from the middle ear, they set it into motion, causing it to vibrate. Consequently, this movement pushes against an unseen tectorial membrane above and stimulates the hair cells. Through this fascinating mechanism, nerve impulses are triggered and swiftly travel through the auditory nerve towards our brain for interpretation. This process is fundamental to our ability to hear and perceive sounds around us. Immersed in vibrant fluorescence under confocal light microscopy techniques, this micrograph offers a glimpse into one aspect of human anatomy that contributes immensely to our sense of hearing. It highlights not only its scientific significance but also its aesthetic appeal as a work of art captured by Science Photo Library's expertise in visual storytelling.
