LM of a section through the human spinal cord
Light micrograph of a transverse section through the human spinal cord. Grey matter, consisting of unmyelinated nerve cells, forms the butterfly- shaped internal core of the spinal cord (seen here as the golden brown region at right). Outside this is the white matter (the light brown region at left) made up of myelinated nerve fibre bundles, or tracts. These carry information from the brain to the spinal column and vice versa. The spinal cord is wrapped in three layers of membrane, the meninges, not visible here. The cord extends from the brainstem to the level of the second lumbar vertebra. Magnification: x40 at 35mm size. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © POWER AND SYRED/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a transverse section through the human spinal cord, revealing its intricate structure and vital components. At the center of attention lies the butterfly-shaped grey matter, composed of unmyelinated nerve cells. Its golden brown hue stands out against the backdrop of white matter on the left side of the image. The white matter consists of myelinated nerve fiber bundles or tracts that facilitate communication between the brain and spinal column. Although not visible in this snapshot, three layers of protective membrane called meninges envelop and safeguard this crucial neural pathway. From its origin in the brainstem to its termination at the second lumbar vertebra, this remarkable cord serves as a conduit for information transmission within our nervous system. With a magnification level set at x40 for a 35mm-sized print, every detail is meticulously captured by Science Photo Library. This photograph provides an awe-inspiring glimpse into one of nature's most complex structures—the human body—and highlights both its fragility and resilience. As we marvel at this extraordinary light micrograph, let us appreciate how our central nervous system orchestrates countless bodily functions while reminding us just how interconnected and wondrous our anatomy truly is.
