Granule nerve cell, SEM
Granule nerve cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a granule nerve cell (yellow) from the cerebellum of the brain. This nerve cell (neurone) is found in large numbers in the granular layer of the grey matter, the outer layer (cortex) of the cerebellum. Its spherical nucleus (centre right) and several of its thread-like processes are seen here. The grey matter is the site of coordination between the neurones of the nervous system. The cerebellum regulates muscle activity and the maintenance of muscle tone and balance. Magnification: x3500 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a granule nerve cell in all its intricate glory. Coloured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the image reveals a yellow-hued neuron from the cerebellum, one of many found in the granular layer of the brain's grey matter. The spherical nucleus takes center stage on the right side, surrounded by numerous thread-like processes that extend outward. The grey matter, where this remarkable nerve cell resides, serves as a vital hub for coordination among neurons within our nervous system. As such, it plays an essential role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. Specifically, the cerebellum regulates muscle activity while ensuring muscle tone and balance are properly maintained. At a magnification of x3500 and printed at 6x7cm size, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the extraordinary complexity present within our own bodies. It offers a glimpse into neurology and anatomy while reminding us of how intricately interconnected every aspect of our being truly is. This stunning photograph from Science Photo Library captures not only scientific beauty but also sparks curiosity about the wonders that lie hidden beneath our skin's surface.
