Cartilage cell, SEM

Cartilage cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a chondrocyte cell (centre) in cartilage. Cartilage is a type of connective tissue formed of chondrocyte cells embedded in a matrix (green) of collagen fibres and proteoglycans. The chondrocyte has a large nucleus (pink). The space in the matrix occupied by a chondrocyte cell is called the lacuna. Cartilage provides support for the walls of the airway, and caps the ends of long bones. Magnification: x3150 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a cartilage cell, as seen through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a section through a chondrocyte cell at its center, surrounded by the matrix of collagen fibers and proteoglycans that make up cartilage. This connective tissue plays an essential role in providing support for the airway walls and capping the ends of long bones. The vibrant colors highlight different components of this microscopic world. The chondrocyte's large nucleus stands out in striking pink against the green backdrop of the collagen fiber matrix. Within this matrix lies the lacuna, which represents the space occupied by each individual chondrocyte cell. This photograph not only captures structural details but also offers insight into our body's anatomy on a cellular level. It serves as a reminder of how complex and fascinating our own biology can be when viewed from such close proximity. Printed at 10cm wide with an impressive magnification factor of x3150, this image allows us to appreciate both its artistic qualities and scientific significance. Whether you are fascinated by cellular structures or simply intrigued by nature's hidden wonders, this print is sure to captivate your imagination.
