Blood vessels, light micrograph
Blood vessels. Light micrograph of a section through tissue showing an artery (bottom left) and a vein (top right). Two nerve fibres (dark blue) are also seen. Surrounding the artery and vein are layers of smooth muscle (purple), and fibrous connective tissue (green). Arteries carry blood away from the heart, while veins carry blood back to the heart from the rest of the body. Magnification: x13 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of blood vessels. The image showcases a section through tissue, revealing an artery and a vein in remarkable detail. At first glance, one is immediately struck by the vibrant colors that bring this micrograph to life. In the bottom left corner, we see the artery pulsating with vitality as it carries oxygenated blood away from the heart. Its counterpart, the vein, can be observed in the top right corner gracefully transporting deoxygenated blood back to its source. These vital pathways are surrounded by layers of smooth muscle depicted in striking shades of purple and fibrous connective tissue represented by hues of green. Two nerve fibers add another layer of complexity to this composition with their dark blue presence. They serve as a reminder that our circulatory system is not only reliant on physical structures but also intricately connected to our nervous system. With a magnification factor of x13 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the microscopic wonders within our own bodies. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding human anatomy and a testament to nature's incredible design.
