Fine Art Print : Frog skin glands, light micrograph
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Frog skin glands, light micrograph
Frog skin glands. Light micrograph of a section through the skin of a frog, showing secretory glands (round, upper centre) just below the surface (across top). The function of these glands is to secrete mucus and water onto the frogs skin. The secretory cells form an arc (dark purple dots) on the lining of the gland, with the duct leading to the skin at top. Some frogs have glands that can secrete poison. This sample has been prepared with haematoxylin eosin staining. Magnification: x50 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of frog skin glands, captured through a light micrograph. The image reveals a section of the frog's skin, with secretory glands prominently displayed just below the surface. These round-shaped glands play a vital role in secreting mucus and water onto the frog's skin, aiding in its hydration and protection. The secretory cells within these glands form an arc-like pattern on their lining, depicted as dark purple dots. A duct can be observed leading from these glands to the top layer of the frog's skin. It is fascinating to note that some frogs possess specialized glands capable of secreting poison. To capture this stunning image, haematoxylin eosin staining was employed during sample preparation. This technique enhances visibility under microscopic examination and adds vibrant hues to different cellular components. With a magnification factor of x50 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this photograph offers viewers an up-close look into the world of amphibian biology. Its inclusion in Science Photo Library highlights its relevance for research in zoology, dermatology, histology, and herpetology. Overall, this visually striking print serves as a testament to nature's complexity while showcasing both scientific beauty and artistic appeal simultaneously.
