Lens fibre of an eye
Lens fibre from an eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the fibre-like cells that form the crystalline lens of the eye. During their development, these cells lose their nuclei and become an inert, transparent protein structure. They are called fibres because of their long, thin dimensions. The lens is responsible for precisely focusing light onto the light sensitive cells at the back of the eye (retina) after it has been roughly focused by the cornea at the front of the eye

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a lens fibre from an eye. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph, we can observe the delicate fibre-like cells that compose the crystalline lens of the eye. As these cells develop, they undergo a fascinating transformation, losing their nuclei and transforming into a transparent protein structure. Due to their elongated and slender shape, they are aptly named fibres. The lens plays a crucial role in our vision by precisely focusing light onto the retina, which contains light-sensitive cells at the back of our eyes. Before reaching the retina, light is roughly focused by the cornea located at the front of our eyes. The lens's ability to fine-tune this focus ensures clear vision and sharp images. Nature has endowed this lens fibre with mesmerizing shades of blue, adding an artistic touch to its scientific significance. This image offers us a glimpse into one aspect of zoological biology and physiology—revealing how biological structures function on a microscopic level. Captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this false-coloured photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and elegance present within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane parts like lenses possess extraordinary intricacies when examined up close. Photo credit: Science Photo Library
