Greetings Card : Coloured SEM of femoral spongy bone tissue
Cards from Science Photo Library
Coloured SEM of femoral spongy bone tissue
Human bone. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of trabeculae in cancellous (spongy) bone tissue of the femur. Bone tissue is divided into compact and cancellous. The latter fills the interior of bones and the cavities between the trabeculae are occupied by bone marrow. Trabeculae are thin and composed of irregular lamellae of bone with lacunae containing osteocytes. Lacunae are visible as tiny, round dark areas on the bone. Osteoblasts are the cells responsible for bone formation. Once they cease activity and become embedded in bone matrix they are called osteocytes. Magnification: x10 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of femoral spongy bone tissue. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph, we are presented with a mesmerizing view of trabeculae in cancellous (spongy) bone tissue found within the femur. The human bone is divided into two types: compact and cancellous, with the latter filling the interior of bones. The image reveals an array of delicate trabeculae, which are thin structures composed of irregular lamellae of bone. These trabeculae create a network-like pattern that gives strength to the spongy bone tissue. Within each lacuna - tiny dark areas visible on the surface - osteocytes reside as they play their crucial role in maintaining and repairing our bones. Bone marrow fills the cavities between these intricately woven trabeculae, adding further complexity to this microscopic landscape. Osteoblasts, responsible for building new bone material, transform into osteocytes once embedded within the bone matrix. At a magnification level of x10 at 6x7cm size, this photograph allows us to appreciate nature's architectural masterpiece hidden beneath our skin. It serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, there is extraordinary detail and sophistication present in every part of our bodies.
