Nerve support cell, SEM
Nerve support cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an oligodendrocyte cell. This cell forms the myelin sheaths around nerve fibres in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). The myelin provides nutrients, structural support and insulation, allowing nerves to conduct signals more quickly. One oligodendrocyte may be responsible for the myelination of up to 50 nerve fibres

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 from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a nerve support cell, specifically an oligodendrocyte. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a glimpse into the fascinating world of biology and neurology. The oligodendrocyte plays a crucial role in our central nervous system, encompassing both the brain and spinal cord. Its primary function is to form myelin sheaths around nerve fibers, which serve as vital protective coverings. These myelin sheaths not only provide insulation but also offer structural support and nourishment to ensure efficient signal transmission within our nerves. It is astonishing to learn that just one oligodendrocyte has the remarkable ability to facilitate myelination for up to 50 individual nerve fibers. This emphasizes their significance in maintaining healthy physiological processes within our bodies. Through this visually striking image, we gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and interconnectedness of our biological systems. It serves as a reminder of how these microscopic cells work tirelessly behind-the-scenes to enable seamless communication throughout our body. Science Photo Library continues its mission by capturing such awe-inspiring moments in science and bringing them closer to us through stunning prints like this one – allowing us all to marvel at the wonders of nature's design.
