Blood vessels in the stomach wall, SEM
Blood vessels in the stomach wall, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). This is a cast: the vessels were filled with a resin, which then set. The surrounding tissues were then eaten away chemically, leaving the cast of the vessels

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate network of blood vessels within the stomach wall, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image is a result of an innovative technique where resin was injected into the vessels and allowed to solidify, creating a cast. Subsequently, surrounding tissues were meticulously dissolved chemically, leaving behind this remarkable representation. The vibrant colors used in this false-colored SEM highlight the complexity and beauty of our circulatory system. The brown hues emphasize the multiple layers and branches that make up these vital blood vessels. As we delve into its details, we gain insight into the anatomy of our digestive system. These delicate capillaries play a crucial role in supplying oxygenated blood to every corner of our stomach lining. They form an extensive capillary bed that ensures efficient nutrient absorption and waste removal during digestion. This extraordinary feat is made possible by their close proximity to gastric tissues. By capturing this stunning image through advanced microscopy techniques, Science Photo Library offers us a glimpse into one aspect of human biology often hidden from plain sight. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are at even microscopic levels.
