Fallopian tube cells, SEM
Fallopian tube cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a fallopian tube, showing non-ciliated (pink) and ciliated (yellow) cells. Microvilli (small protrusions) cover the surface of the secretory, non-ciliated cells. Magnification: x1250 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of fallopian tube cells. The image showcases the surface of a fallopian tube, revealing an array of non-ciliated and ciliated cells in stunning detail. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a visual feast of colors - pink representing the non-ciliated cells and yellow symbolizing the ciliated ones. The secretory, non-ciliated cells are adorned with countless microvilli, tiny protrusions that cover their surface like delicate bristles. With a magnification level of x1250 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty inherent in our own biology. It provides insight into the normal anatomy and functioning of these crucial components within the female reproductive system. The columnar epithelium comprising these fallopian tube cells plays an essential role in facilitating reproduction by aiding in egg transport towards the uterus. The presence of both cilia and microvilli further highlights their specialized functions within this process. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders through its powerful lens, offering us an opportunity to marvel at our own existence on a microscopic scale. This print serves as a reminder that even within our bodies' most intricate systems lies extraordinary beauty waiting to be discovered.
