Human eye, illustration
Eye anatomy. Cutaway illustration passing through a human eye, showing its internal anatomy and structure. The front of the eye is at right, and the structures here include the cornea, the pupil (surrounded by the iris), and the lens (oval object). Light passes through these, and is focused on the retina (yellow), a layer of light-sensitive cells and blood vessels lining the inside of the eye. The light triggers signals that are passed through the optic nerve to the brain, where they are interpreted to provide vision. The inside of the eye is filled with a clear gel, the vitreous humour. At top and bottom are the eye muscles (muscles of the orbit, red)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of the human eye. With its cutaway illustration, we are granted access to the internal anatomy and structure that make vision possible. The front of the eye takes center stage on the right side, showcasing key structures such as the cornea, pupil (encircled by the iris), and lens - an oval object responsible for focusing light onto the retina. Speaking of which, this yellow layer is composed of light-sensitive cells and blood vessels lining the innermost part of our eyes. It is here where magic happens: as light passes through these components, signals are triggered and relayed through the optic nerve to our brain for interpretation - ultimately providing us with sight. The inside of this remarkable organ is filled with a clear gel known as vitreous humour, adding another layer of complexity to its design. And let's not forget about those vibrant red muscles at both top and bottom; they play a crucial role in controlling eye movement within their orbit. Through this digitally generated image captured by Mark Garlick from Science Photo Libra, we are reminded once again how truly extraordinary our eyes are. This print serves as a testament to their beauty and functionality while igniting curiosity about our own biology.
