EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of nerve fibres under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals myelinated nerve fibres, which are essential components of our healthy anatomy. In this false-colored SEM, the myelin sheath appears in a striking shade of grey, while the axoplasm is depicted in a delicate pink hue. The connective tissue surrounding these fibres is highlighted in vibrant yellow. With a magnification level of x650 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this photograph provides an up-close and detailed view into the world of neurology and neuroscience. Each fibre represents a crucial element within our complex nervous system, serving as an insulated pathway for communication between neurons. The myelin sheath plays a vital role in ensuring efficient transmission by insulating and protecting the axons. This insulation allows for swift electrical impulses to travel along these nerves without interference or loss of signal strength. As we explore this mesmerizing image further, it becomes evident that its artistic qualities merge seamlessly with its scientific significance. It serves as a reminder of both the wonders found within our own bodies and the incredible advancements made possible through cutting-edge imaging techniques like SEM.
