Glial cells, SEM
Glial cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a glial cell (centre). Glial cells are nervous system cells that provide structural support and protection for neurons (nerve cells). In the human brain, the most concentrated region of glial activity is in the cerebral cortex, where there are about four glia for every neuron

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 the intricate world of glial cells, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Glial cells are an essential component of the nervous system, providing structural support and protection for neurons. In this image, we see a single glial cell at the center, surrounded by its extensions or filaments. The vibrant colors in this SEM image are not natural but have been added to highlight different structures within the cell. The false coloring helps us appreciate the complexity and beauty of these microscopic entities that play such a crucial role in our brain's functioning. Glial activity is most concentrated in the cerebral cortex, where there are approximately four glia for every neuron. This emphasizes their significance in maintaining neural health and facilitating communication between nerve cells. By studying glial cells through advanced imaging techniques like SEM, scientists gain valuable insights into their structure and function. Such knowledge contributes to our understanding of various neurological conditions and aids in developing potential treatments. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of both the delicate intricacy and immense power hidden within even the tiniest components of our biological makeup. It invites us to marvel at nature's design while appreciating how these unsung heroes silently work behind-the-scenes to keep our brains functioning optimally.
