Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Small intestine lining, SEM
Small intestine villi. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of villi (folds) on the lining of the small intestine. Villi greatly increase the intestinal surface area for absorbing nutrients from food. The epithelium (outer layer, folded) of each villus contains enterocyte cells, which are involved in nutrient absorption, and goblet cells, which secrete mucus onto the intestinal surface. The inner villus tissue (not seen) contains blood vessels which transport digestive products to a nearby vein. Magnification: x21 at 6x7cm size

Discover the intricacies of the human body with our Media Storehouse Poster Prints featuring the captivating image of a small intestine lining, SEM. This vibrant and detailed scanning electron micrograph (SEM) from Science Photo Library reveals the complex network of villi on the intestinal surface. These tiny structures significantly expand the intestine's absorptive area, allowing for efficient nutrient uptake. Bring the wonders of biology into your home or office with our high-quality, museum-grade poster prints. Experience the beauty of science like never before.
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 52.1cm x 42cm (20.5" x 16.5")

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and vibrant world of the small intestine lining. Through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the fascinating structure of small intestine villi. These delicate folds play a crucial role in our digestive system, as they dramatically increase the surface area for absorbing vital nutrients from our food. The outer layer of each villus, known as the epithelium, is beautifully folded and houses enterocyte cells responsible for nutrient absorption. Additionally, goblet cells can be observed secreting mucus onto the intestinal surface to aid in digestion. Although not visible in this image, deep within these projections lie blood vessels that transport digested products to nearby veins. With a magnification of x21 at 6x7cm size, this SEM highlights both the complexity and efficiency of our gut's anatomy. The healthy tissue portrayed here represents normal digestion within the human body's alimentary canal. Through this striking visual representation captured by Science Photo Library, we gain an appreciation for how mucosal absorptive projections like villi contribute to optimal nutrient absorption and overall well-being.
