Bone lacuna, SEM
Bone lacuna. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a lacuna (cavity) in a bone, filled with new bone mineral (red). A lacuna is a cavity within a bone that can contain an osteocyte, a cell that forms bone. An osteocyte has formed the new bone seen here

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of bone lacuna, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vivid colors bring to life the fascinating details within this biological marvel. In this image, we are presented with a close-up view of a lacuna, which is essentially a cavity found within bones. What makes this particular lacuna so remarkable is that it is filled with new bone mineral, depicted in striking red hues. This indicates an active process of bone formation taking place. Within the lacuna, we can observe an osteocyte—a specialized cell responsible for building and maintaining bone tissue. It is awe-inspiring to witness how this tiny osteocyte has diligently crafted the new bone material visible here. The photograph not only offers insight into human anatomy but also serves as a testament to our body's incredible regenerative abilities. It reminds us of the continuous cycle of renewal occurring within our skeletal system. With its false-colored presentation and high-resolution detail, this SEM micrograph provides both scientific value and aesthetic appeal. It invites us to appreciate the wonders hidden beneath our skin while emphasizing the importance of healthy bones for overall well-being. This stunning image from Science Photo Library captures nature's artistry at its finest—an exquisite blend of biology and technology that leaves us in awe of life's complexity.
