Fallopian tube lining, SEM
Fallopian tube lining. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the folded internal mucosal lining of a fallopian tube (oviduct). The surface consists of a mixture of ciliated and secretory cells. The cilia (hairs) beat rhythmically to move the ovum (egg, the female sex cell) along the fallopian tube. The ovum is produced by one of the two ovaries, and moves along the corresponding fallopian tube to reach the uterus. Magnification: x240 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the fallopian tube lining, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a folded internal mucosal lining that plays a crucial role in female reproduction. The surface of the fallopian tube consists of both ciliated and secretory cells, which are clearly visible in this false-colored SEM image. The cilia, resembling delicate hairs, rhythmically beat to create movement within the reproductive system. Their purpose is to gently propel the ovum, or egg cell, along the fallopian tube towards its ultimate destination - the uterus. The ovaries produce these precious ova, and each one embarks on an incredible journey through its corresponding fallopian tube. This microscopic view offers us a glimpse into this vital process that occurs within our bodies. With a magnification level of x240 when printed at 10cm wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and wonder of human biology. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our reproductive systems are. Whether used for educational purposes or simply admired for its aesthetic appeal, this stunning print from Science Photo Library captures an essential aspect of gynecological anatomy with remarkable detail and precision.
