Nerve fibres, LM
Nerve fibres. Light micrograph (LM) of a transverse section through a bundle (fascicle) of nerve fibres. Within each fascicle are many myelinated nerve fibres. Myelin (pale pink) is an insulating fatty layer that surrounds single nerve fibres called axons increasing the speed at which nerve impulses travel. Supporting the fibres within each fascicle is the endoneurium, which is a form of connective tissue. The perineurium surrounds each fascicle, which are in turn bound together by epineurial connective tissue (red). Magnification: x80 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nerve fibres in a transverse section. The light micrograph (LM) reveals a bundle, or fascicle, of nerve fibres with numerous myelinated axons. These axons are enveloped by a pale pink layer called myelin, which acts as an insulating fatty sheath and enhances the speed at which nerve impulses travel. The image also highlights the supportive structures surrounding the fibres within each fascicle. The endoneurium, a type of connective tissue, provides essential support to ensure proper functioning. Additionally, the perineurium encloses each fascicle while being bound together by vibrant red epineurial connective tissue. Through this artwork created using computer-generated techniques, photographer Steve Gschmeissner captures both scientific precision and artistic expression. With a magnification of x80 when printed 10cm wide, every detail is brought to life for viewers to appreciate. This visually stunning print serves as a reminder of the complexity and elegance found within our own bodies. It invites us to marvel at the wonders of nature's design and reflect on how these delicate nerve fibres enable communication throughout our nervous system.
