Home Decor from Science Photo Library
False-colour SEM of blood cells on endocardium
Red Blood cells inside the heart: false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of red & white blood cells on the endocardium, the lining of the heart. The whole vascular system is lined by a single layer of endothelial cells (endothelium), the plate-like features in this image. This delicate membrane is supported & protected by a layer of elastic connective tissue, which absorbs the relatively violent movements of the heart during the cardiac cycle. The red cells appear as biconcave discs, whilst the white cells are spherical with tiny surface projections. Magnification: x950 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of blood cells within the human heart. In this false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a rare glimpse into the endocardium, the lining of the heart, where red and white blood cells coexist. The image reveals a single layer of endothelial cells that envelops the entire vascular system like delicate plates. These endothelial cells form a protective barrier for our bloodstream, safeguarding it from any harm. Supporting this fragile membrane is a layer of elastic connective tissue which absorbs and cushions against the vigorous movements of the heart during its rhythmic cycle. The red blood cells steal our attention with their distinctive biconcave disc shape, allowing them to efficiently transport oxygen throughout our bodies. Meanwhile, spherical white blood cells make their presence known with tiny surface projections that aid in defending us against infections and diseases. At an impressive magnification level of x950, this SEM print offers an up-close exploration into one aspect of our complex anatomy. It serves as a reminder not only of how intricately designed our bodies are but also highlights the vital role these microscopic entities play in sustaining our health. Captured by Science Photo Library, this mesmerizing artwork invites us to marvel at nature's wonders while deepening our understanding of ourselves on both macroscopic and microscopic levels.
