LM of nerve cells and fibres in brain tissue
Brain tissue. Light micrograph of a section through the grey matter of a normal brain. There are several nerve cell bodies (objects in white areas) surrounded by associated dendrites and supportive glial cells. Some nuclei are visible as darker patches at the centre of the cell bodies. Dendrites, the smaller of the two types of nerve process, act as sensory receptors for the nerve cells. Grey matter in the brain consists of cell bodies, branched dendrites, glial cells and blood vessels. Magnification: x200 at 5x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nerve cells and fibers within brain tissue. Taken under a light microscope, the image reveals a section through the grey matter of a healthy brain. The white areas represent several nerve cell bodies, each surrounded by their associated dendrites and supportive glial cells. The darker patches at the center of these cell bodies signify visible nuclei, adding depth to this mesmerizing composition. Dendrites, which are sensory receptors for nerve cells, can be observed as smaller nerve processes branching out from the cell bodies. Grey matter in the brain consists not only of these remarkable cell bodies and branched dendrites but also includes glial cells and blood vessels that play crucial roles in maintaining proper neural function. With a magnification level of x200 at 5x7cm size, this photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness present within our nervous system. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our brains are and highlights its importance in regulating various bodily functions. This stunning visual representation is brought to you by Science Photo Library – an invaluable resource for those seeking knowledge about human anatomy, specifically pertaining to neurology.
