False-colour SEM of skeletal muscle fibres

Muscle. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a bundle of skeletal muscle fibres (red), also known as striated muscle fibres, and a few capillaries (blue). Skeletal muscles are responsible for the movement of the skeleton and organs such as the tongue and the globe of the eye. Each fibre is surrounded by a thin layer of connective tissue known as endomysium. Skeletal muscle fibres are grouped together into bundles called fasciculi and each one is enclosed by a sheath of collagenous tissue (not seen) called perimysium. Most muscles are made up of many fasciculi. Magnification: x1430 at 6x7cm size. x2150 at 4x5ins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of skeletal muscle fibres in a false-colour scanning electron micrograph. The vibrant red hues depict the bundle of striated muscle fibres, which are responsible for the movement of our skeleton and vital organs like the tongue and eye globe. Amidst this network of muscular strength, a few delicate blue capillaries can be seen, emphasizing their crucial role in delivering oxygen-rich blood to these active tissues. Each individual fibre is enveloped by a thin layer known as endomysium, providing support and protection. Fasciculi, or bundles of these fibres, are enclosed by collagenous tissue called perimysium that remains unseen in this image. It's fascinating to note that most muscles consist of numerous fasciculi working together harmoniously. The magnified view at x1430 (6x7cm size) or x2150 (4x5ins) allows us to appreciate the complexity hidden within our bodies on a microscopic level. This visually stunning photograph not only highlights the beauty found in human anatomy but also serves as an educational tool for understanding muscle structure. Captured by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional scientific imagery collection, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into the world beneath our skin. Whether you're fascinated by biology or simply intrigued by nature's wonders, this mesmerizing image will undoubtedly spark curiosity about our incredible musculoskeletal system.
