Coloured SEM of section through raw meat
Raw meat. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) of a cut section through raw meat. Meat is largely made up of muscle consisting of striated muscle fibres (at centre). During the process of cooking, however, these muscle fibres are de- natured (broken down). See photo H110/993 showing cooked meat. Magnification: x1030 at 6x4.5cm size. Magnification; x2900 at 6x4.5inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through raw meat. The image provides an up-close view of the intricate composition of meat, which is primarily made up of muscle consisting of striated muscle fibers at its center. These fibers play a crucial role in the texture and tenderness of the meat. The photograph also highlights an interesting scientific phenomenon related to cooking. As the caption explains, during the process of cooking, these muscle fibers undergo denaturation or breakdown. This transformation alters the structure and properties of the meat, resulting in changes in taste, texture, and overall palatability. With a magnification level that allows for detailed observation at both 6x4.5 cm and 6x4.5 inch sizes, this SEM image offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the microscopic intricacies within our everyday foodstuffs. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly simple items like raw meat possess complex structures worth exploring. This print by Science Photo Library is not affiliated with any particular company or intended for commercial use. Instead, it aims to educate and inspire curiosity about natural processes such as protein denaturation while showcasing the beauty hidden within ordinary objects we encounter daily in our kitchens.
