Contact lens and eye anatomy, artwork C016 / 6572
Contact lens and eye anatomy. Artwork of a contact lens (left) and the anatomy of an eye (right) with a contact lens placed on the corneal surface (upper right)

Evolution of the eye, artwork
Evolution of the eye, computer artwork. It is thought that the eye originated as a patch of light-sensitive cells (left) on the organisms surface

Retina of the eye, light micrograph C016 / 0528
Retina of the eye. Light micrograph of a section through the retina from a human eye. From top down: nerve fibres of the optic nerve and a blood vessel; several layers of neurons (nerve cells)

Eye anatomy, artwork C016 / 8742
Eye anatomy, artwork. The eye is seen in cutaway format from the side. Structures shown include the lens (light blue, lower left), its attachment points, the iris

Outer layers of the eye, SEM
Outer layers of the eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the choroid (top) and sclera (bottom) layers of the eye. The sclera is the white outer layer of the eye

Choroid layer of the eye, SEM
Choroid layer of the eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through the choroid layer of the eye. A pigment cell (dark brown) is at upper centre

Optic nerve, light micrograph
Optic nerve. Coloured light micrograph of a section through the optic nerve. The optic nerve (bright pink) collects impulses from the light sensitive cells of the retina and relays them to the brain

Eye structure, light micrograph
Eye structure. Coloured light micrograph of a section through the inner surface of a human eye. This slice shows the vitreous humour (transparent liquid in the eye, top), the retina (pink)

Blood vessels in eye
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of blood vessels in the choroid of the eye. A branch- ing network of arteries and veins can be seen in this area under the central fovea

Developing pig eye, light micrograph. From right the structures seen are: the cornea (brown), the lens (purple), the retina (pink), the choroid (dark brown line) and the sclera (white of the eye)

Bird eye anatomy, artwork. The structure of a birds eye is similar to that of humans and other vertebrates, with a clear cornea forming a bulge (left) in front of the lens (oval)

Retina structure
Retinal structure, artwork. Light falling on the retina passes from top to bottom. At bottom is the choroid layer (red), which lines the inside of the eye

"The Choroid: Unveiling the Artistry of Eye Anatomy" Step into the intricate world of eye anatomy and witness the captivating beauty of the choroid. This vital layer, nestled between the retina and sclera, plays a crucial role in our vision. In one mesmerizing artwork, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) reveals an up-close view of this delicate structure. Its intricate network of blood vessels showcases nature's impeccable design, ensuring nourishment and oxygen supply to the surrounding tissues. Travel back in time as we explore historical illustrations from 1861 and 1898 that depict the anatomy of both human eyes and ears. These masterpieces not only showcase scientific accuracy but also highlight humanity's fascination with unraveling our own complexities. A cross-section biomedical illustration takes us on a journey through every layer within the human eye. The choroid stands out prominently, showcasing its rich pigmentation that absorbs excess light to enhance visual acuity. Conceptual images further deepen our understanding by portraying human eye anatomy alongside skulls or in isolation. These thought-provoking visuals remind us of how intricately connected our vision is to our overall perception and existence. However, amidst this awe-inspiring beauty lies a reminder of vulnerability – macular degeneration affecting the retina. A conceptual image portrays this condition, urging us to appreciate each moment when our sight remains unimpaired. Lastly, an orbital cut unravels more secrets as it exposes nerves like abducent nerve with ciliary ganglion and oculomotor nerve. Such imagery reminds us that behind every blink or gaze lies an orchestra conducted by these microscopic marvels. The choroid invites us into its realm where science meets artistry.
