Liver cells, SEM
Liver cells. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of liver cells or hepatocytes. Several of the cells (for example, at upper left) are undergoing cell division. Hepatocytes are specialised epithelial cells and the most abundant cells in the liver. They are arranged in units known as lobules, each lobule surrounding a vein (not seen). Hepatocytes are involved with the various functions of the liver, including metabolism, detoxification of the blood and bile production. Magnification: x3900 at 6.5x8.5 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of liver cells, captured through a scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals hepatocytes, which are specialized epithelial cells and the most abundant in the liver. These remarkable cells are arranged in lobules surrounding veins, although not visible in this particular shot. The photograph offers a glimpse into the dynamic nature of these hepatocytes as some undergo cell division, exemplified by those at the upper left corner. This process known as cytokinesis plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy liver function. Hepatocytes are involved in various vital functions such as metabolism, detoxification of blood, and bile production. At an impressive magnification of x3900 and printed at 6.5x8.5 inches size, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the complexity and intricacy within our own bodies on a microscopic level. It serves as a reminder that even at this minute scale, life continues to thrive with precision and purpose. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring visual representation of human anatomy - reminding us of both its normality and extraordinary capabilities without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company.
