Cultured nerve cells
Cultured nerve cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a cultured piece of spinal cord (centre). Each nerve cell (neuron) in the cord has an axon (long thin strand) growing from it. An axon carries nerve signals away from the neuron. Magnification: x55 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of cultured nerve cells, offering a glimpse into the complex world of our nervous system. The coloured scanning electron micrograph showcases a piece of spinal cord at its center, where each individual nerve cell or neuron is prominently displayed. These neurons are seen with their long, thin strands called axons growing from them. Axons play a crucial role in transmitting nerve signals away from the neuron, allowing for communication within the vast network of our nervous system. This image provides an up-close view of this growth process and highlights the remarkable intricacy and organization present within our bodies. The magnification level used to capture this image was x55, revealing even the tiniest details with precision. At 6x4.5cm in size, it offers a compact yet powerful representation of these vital components of human anatomy. Such images hold immense value in research and medicine as they provide valuable insights into how nerve cells develop and function. They contribute to advancing our understanding of neurological disorders and aid scientists in developing potential treatments that target specific areas within this complex system. Overall, this stunning photograph serves as a testament to both the beauty and complexity found within our own bodies while showcasing the incredible progress made through scientific exploration and imaging techniques like scanning electron microscopy.
