Nerve ganglion, light micrograph C016 / 0532
Nerve ganglion. Light micrograph of a section through a nerve ganglion of the peripheral nervous system, showing clusters of nerve cell bodies. In this sensory or dorsal root ganglion, the axons (green) are myelinated. The axons of these ganglion cells are unusual in that they are branched; one arm arrives from the periphery, the other passes towards the spinal cord. Glial cells or satellite cells surround each nerve cell body. Magnification: x180, when printed 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a nerve ganglion in all its intricate glory. The light micrograph, labeled C016 / 0532, provides a fascinating glimpse into the peripheral nervous system. The image reveals clusters of nerve cell bodies, each surrounded by glial cells or satellite cells. What sets this sensory or dorsal root ganglion apart is the unique structure of its axons. In this particular ganglion, the myelinated axons (depicted in green) exhibit branching characteristics. One arm extends from the periphery while the other passes towards the spinal cord. The level of detail captured by this microscope image is truly remarkable. With a magnification of x180 and printed at 10 centimeters high, it allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty found within our own bodies. This print serves as a valuable resource for those studying cell biology, cytology, histology, and anatomy. It offers insights into various aspects such as fibre arrangement, nucleus distribution, myelin sheathing on axons, and more. MICROSCAPE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has once again provided an exceptional visual representation of scientific exploration through their lens. This photograph reminds us of both the elegance and complexity that exists within our biological systems – an awe-inspiring reminder of nature's ingenuity.
