Intestinal microvilli, SEM
Intestinal microvilli. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of microvilli from the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. These tiny structures form a dense brush-like covering on the absorptive surfaces of the enterocyte cells. These cells absorb nutrients from digested food through these microvilli. There are billions of microvilli in a small intestine. Magnification: x14, 000 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of intestinal microvilli, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image portrays microvilli found in the duodenum, which is the initial segment of the small intestine. These minuscule structures form a dense and brush-like covering on the surface of enterocyte cells responsible for absorption. The significance of these microvilli lies in their crucial role in nutrient absorption from digested food. As nutrients pass through the digestive system, they are absorbed by these tiny projections, enabling our bodies to extract essential sustenance efficiently. It is awe-inspiring to consider that there are billions of microvilli within such a compact space like the small intestine. At a magnification level of x14,000 when printed 10cm wide, this photograph reveals an extraordinary level of detail that would otherwise remain hidden from our naked eyes. The vibrant colors and cellular structure depicted here emphasize both their functional importance and aesthetic appeal. By capturing this stunning image, Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into one aspect of human anatomy rarely seen or appreciated. This visual representation serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, nature's design exhibits remarkable complexity and elegance.
