Coloured TEM of a blood vessel in the spinal cord

Blood vessel. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a blood vessel in the spinal cord. There are red blood cells (erythrocytes, dark red) in the vessels lumen (interior). The nuclei of the endothelial cells that form the blood vessels inner lining are green. Blood vessels carry oxygen, nutrients and hormones around the body. This blood vessel is in the white matter of the spinal cord. White matter consists of axons (yellow), the fibres that carry nerve signals away from each neurone (nerve cell), wrapped in myelin (green). Magnification: x600 at 6x7cm size. x2000 at 7.5x9.5ins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a blood vessel in the spinal cord. The intricate details captured in this image are truly mesmerizing. Within the vessel's lumen, we can observe dark red erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, which play a vital role in transporting oxygen throughout our bodies. The inner lining of this blood vessel is composed of endothelial cells, distinguished by their vibrant green nuclei. These cells form an essential barrier that allows nutrients, hormones, and oxygen to be efficiently transported through the bloodstream. Situated within the white matter of the spinal cord, this blood vessel is surrounded by axons – yellow fibers responsible for transmitting nerve signals away from each individual neuron. Wrapped around these axons is myelin, depicted here in striking green hues. At a magnification level of x600 at 6x7cm size or x2000 at 7.5x9.5ins size, this image offers us an up-close look into the complex network that sustains our nervous system and facilitates communication between different parts of our body. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an extraordinary visual representation of human anatomy and physiology through their exceptional photography skills.
