Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
LM of cortex and medulla of the cerebellum
Cerebellum. Light micrograph of a cross-section through the cortex (surface) and medulla (core) of a human cerebellum, part of the brain. The cerebe- llum is highly folded with fissures (thick white lines) between its ridges (lobules). The cortex has a molecular layer (light blue) which mainly consists of nerve fibre networks. Beneath this is a layer of Purkinje nerve cells (thin white lines). This lies over the granular layer (grainy black & blue) of nerve cells. Beneath the cortex is the medulla (black). This consists of white matter, large nerve fibres (axons). The cerebellum controls body posture & coordinates muscle move- ment & balance. Magnification: x100 at 5x7cm size

Discover the intricacies of the human brain with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the "LM of cortex and medulla of the cerebellum" image from Science Photo Library. This captivating light micrograph offers a unique perspective into the complex structure of the cerebellum, showcasing both the cortex and medulla in stunning detail. Ideal for educational settings or personal use, these high-quality poster prints bring the wonders of neuroscience right into your home or classroom.
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 42cm x 55.2cm (16.5" x 21.7")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the cortex and medulla of the cerebellum, a vital part of the human brain. The cerebellum, known for its highly folded nature with deep fissures separating its ridges or lobules, is beautifully captured in this light micrograph. The image highlights different layers within the cerebellum. The outermost layer, called the cortex, is depicted in a mesmerizing shade of light blue and consists mainly of nerve fibre networks. Just beneath it lies a layer composed of Purkinje nerve cells, represented by delicate white lines that create an exquisite pattern. Moving further inward, we encounter the granular layer characterized by grainy black and blue hues. This layer contains numerous nerve cells responsible for various functions within the cerebellum. Finally, at its core lies the medulla portrayed in striking black coloration. The significance of this complex structure becomes apparent as we learn about its crucial role in controlling body posture and coordinating muscle movement and balance. It serves as an essential component of our central nervous system (CNS), facilitating smooth motor function. With a magnification level set at x100 for a 5x7cm size print, Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into one aspect of human anatomy – revealing both beauty and complexity simultaneously.
