False-colour SEM of a lobule of the liver
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a lobule of the liver. Parenchyma tissue in the liver is arranged into lobules of cells, one of which is seen here. Each lobule has a central vein (black circle here); portal tracts at the boundary of each lobule (beyond this field of view) lead blood to flow along paths or sinusoids (grey) between hepatic cells, towards the centre of the lobule. In the process, blood is detoxified of waste products; proteins are metabolized; blood clotting agents, vitamin A and bile are synthe- sized; and spent red blood cells are reabsorbed. Magnification: x570 at 6x7cm size. Magnification: x875 at 4x5 inch size

Hepatic Liver Lobule Lobules False Coloured
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a lobule in the liver. The intricate parenchyma tissue is organized into lobules, and this particular image offers an up-close view of one such structure. At the center of the lobule, we can observe a prominent black circle representing the central vein. Beyond our field of view lie portal tracts that demarcate each lobule's boundary. These portal tracts play a crucial role in directing blood flow along sinusoids or paths between hepatic cells towards the center of the lobule, where detoxification and various metabolic processes occur. Within these sinuous pathways, blood undergoes essential transformations: waste products are eliminated, proteins are metabolized, clotting agents are synthesized alongside vitamin A and bile production. Additionally, spent red blood cells find their final destination as they are reabsorbed within this intricate network. The level of detail captured by this SEM is truly remarkable; it magnifies at x570 for 6x7cm size prints and x875 for 4x5 inch size prints. This stunning visual representation provides valuable insights into liver anatomy while highlighting its vital functions within the human body.
