Small intestine, LM
Small intestine. Light micrograph (LM) of a section through the finger-like projections (villi) of the duodenum, the uppermost part of the small intestine. These increase the surface area for the absorption of food. Within the columnar epithelium of the outer surface (pink) are goblet cells (stained blue with special staining), which secrete mucus to lubricate food and prevent self-digestion. The lamina propria (central core) contains the blood supply that transports the products of digestion. Magnification: x350 when printed at 10 centimetres wide
Unleash your creativity and transform your space into a visual masterpiece!

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the small intestine, specifically a section through the duodenum's finger-like projections called villi. The duodenum is located at the uppermost part of the small intestine and plays a crucial role in digestion. The image reveals an astonishing level of detail under light micrograph (LM) magnification, allowing us to appreciate the complexity within our own bodies. The pink columnar epithelium on the outer surface houses goblet cells, which are stained blue with special staining techniques. These remarkable cells secrete mucus that serves multiple purposes: lubricating food for smooth passage and protecting against self-digestion. At its core lies the lamina propria, where we find an extensive network of blood vessels responsible for transporting vital nutrients derived from digested food throughout our body. This central core acts as a lifeline, ensuring that every cell receives nourishment. With a magnification power of x350 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this awe-inspiring photograph allows us to marvel at nature's ingenuity on both macro and micro scales. It highlights how even seemingly mundane parts of our anatomy possess incredible intricacy and functionality. Whether you are passionate about healthcare and medicine or simply fascinated by science, this visually stunning artwork by Steve Gschmeissner is sure to captivate your imagination while providing insight into one of our body's most essential organs - truly a masterpiece worth cherishing!
