Photographic Print : Human skin section, light micrograph
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Human skin section, light micrograph
Human skin. Light micrograph of a section through healthy human skin. The outer surface of the skin is at top. The uppermost surface is the epidermis, which is topped by the dead stratum corneum layer. Cells are continually shed from this layer and are replaced by cells from the living underlying layer, the stratum germinativum (purple). This layer lies on top of the dermis, the thickest skin layer, which contains hair follicles (for instance down left), a sebaceous gland (white, right of follicle), sweat glands (purple/white, lower right) and blood vessels. The body of the dermis comprises fatty and connective tissue. Magnification: x37 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a light micrograph of a section through healthy human skin. The image reveals the intricate layers and structures that make up our largest organ. At the top, we see the outer surface of the skin, known as the epidermis, which is covered by a layer of dead cells called the stratum corneum. Beneath this protective layer lies the living underlying layer called the stratum germinativum, depicted in purple. This dynamic layer constantly sheds old cells and replaces them with new ones to maintain healthy skin. The thickest layer of our skin, known as the dermis, can be seen below. It contains various essential components such as hair follicles (visible towards the bottom left), sebaceous glands (white structure on right side of follicle), sweat glands (purple/white structures at lower right), and blood vessels. Within this complex network resides fatty and connective tissue that provides support and nourishment to our skin. The magnification used for this print allows us to appreciate these details at x37 when printed 10cm high. This extraordinary image not only highlights the beauty of human anatomy but also serves as a valuable resource for those studying biology, histology, or any field related to understanding our remarkable bodies.
