Heart ventricle, SEM
Heart ventricle. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a fracture through a heart to show the interior of the ventricle. Erythrocytes (red blood cells) are seen within the ventricle. The ventricles are the lower chambers of the heart. The right ventricle receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. The left ventricle receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it through the main artery, the aorta, to the rest of the body. Magnification: x500 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a heart ventricle, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors highlight the interior of the ventricle, where numerous erythrocytes, or red blood cells, can be observed. As the lower chambers of the heart, ventricles play a crucial role in maintaining our cardiovascular system. The right ventricle is responsible for receiving deoxygenated blood from the body and propelling it to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. On the other hand, oxygenated blood from the lungs enters into the left ventricle which then pumps it out to nourish various organs and tissues via our main artery called aorta. At 500 times magnification when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image offers an extraordinary glimpse into our biological makeup. It not only reveals an anatomical marvel but also serves as a reminder of how essential these chambers are for sustaining life. With its false-colored details and precise imaging techniques employed by Science Photo Library's experts in cardiology and biology research fields, this photograph provides valuable insights into both healthy anatomy and potential abnormalities within our hearts' inner workings.
