Fat tissue, SEM

Fat tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of fat cells (adipocytes, round) surrounded by fine strands of supportive connective tissue. Adipocytes are among the largest cells in the human body, each cell being 100 to 120 microns in diameter. Almost the entire volume of each fat cell consists of a single lipid (fat or oil) droplet. Adipose tissue forms an insulating layer under the skin, storing energy in the form of fat, which is obtained from food. Magnification: x300 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of fat tissue at a microscopic level. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are presented with a mesmerizing view of adipocytes, or fat cells, surrounded by delicate strands of connective tissue. These adipocytes, being some of the largest cells in our bodies, measure between 100 to 120 microns in diameter. The main feature that stands out is the single lipid droplet that occupies almost the entire volume within each fat cell. This droplet represents stored energy obtained from food and plays a crucial role in maintaining insulation under our skin. Adipose tissue serves as an essential layer for regulating body temperature and providing cushioning and protection to vital organs. Through this image, we gain insight into the complex biology behind healthy fat tissue formation. The vibrant colors employed here bring life to an otherwise unseen world within us. It's fascinating how such small structures contribute significantly to our overall well-being. With a magnification factor of x300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricacies of human anatomy on a cellular level while reminding us of the remarkable complexity present within even seemingly ordinary tissues like fat.
