Nerve bundle, light micrograph
Nerve bundle. Light micrograph of a section through a nerve bundle from the sciatic nerve. Myelin sheaths (dark blue circles) can be seen surrounding the axons (light blue dots). Perineurium (connective tissue, light blue) surrounds the nerve bundle. Adipose (fat) cells (dark brown) surround the nerve bundle. Magnification: x200 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Gschmeissner showcases the intricate beauty of a nerve bundle, providing us with a glimpse into the complex world of human anatomy. The image, captured using a light micrograph technique, reveals the remarkable structure and composition of this essential component of our nervous system. In this mesmerizing artwork, we can observe myelin sheaths as dark blue circles enveloping the axons represented by light blue dots. These myelin sheaths play a crucial role in insulating and protecting nerve fibers, ensuring efficient transmission of electrical signals throughout our body. Surrounding the nerve bundle is the perineurium, a connective tissue depicted in light blue hues. This protective layer acts as a barrier against external forces that could potentially harm or disrupt the delicate nerves within. Adding to its visual allure are adipose cells portrayed in dark brown shades encircling the nerve bundle. These fat cells provide cushioning and insulation for this vital part of our nervous system. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with an impressive magnification factor of x200, this medical illustration offers viewers an up-close encounter with one of nature's most fascinating creations – our own neural network. It serves as a testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression while reminding us of the intricacies that make up our incredible human form.
