Collecting duct from a kidney, SEM

Collecting duct from a kidney. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a collecting duct from a kidney. This section across the duct (a thin tube) shows a thick, folded wall surrounding a narrow central space (lumen). This collecting duct receives urine from the Loop of Henle (which is part of a kidney structure called a tubule). The urine is the product of the blood filtration that occurred elsewhere in the kidney. The Loop of Henle reabsorbs water and salts from the urine, increasing the concentration of waste products such as urea. Magnification: x12, 500 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cross-section of a collecting duct from a kidney, revealing its intricate structure and function. The colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) provides a detailed view of the thin tube surrounded by a thick, folded wall. Within this narrow central space known as the lumen, urine is received from the Loop of Henle. The Loop of Henle plays an essential role in renal physiology by reabsorbing water and salts from the urine, thereby increasing the concentration of waste products like urea. This process is crucial for maintaining proper fluid balance and eliminating toxins from our bodies. With a magnification level of x12,500 when printed at 10cm wide, this image offers an up-close look at the healthy anatomy of this vital component within our excretory system. Its false-colored presentation adds to its aesthetic appeal while still providing valuable scientific information. Whether you are studying human biology or exploring nephrology and urology fields, this histological sectioned image serves as an invaluable resource. It highlights the complexity and beauty found within our own bodies while shedding light on how they efficiently carry out essential functions like urine production and filtration. Captured by Science Photo Library using advanced scanning electron microscope technology, this photograph exemplifies their commitment to delivering high-quality images that bridge science with artistry.
