Cerebellum, light micrograph
Cerebellum. Light micrograph of a section through the cerebellum of the brain. The cerebellum comprises three main layers. The outer grey matter (cortex) comprises the molecular layer (pink) and the granular layer (dark purple). Within the grey matter is the white matter (dark pink). Purkinje cells exist at the junction of the molecular and granular layer. Magnification: x20 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the cerebellum, a vital part of our brain. The image, captured using a light microscope, reveals a section through this remarkable organ. Comprising three main layers, the outer grey matter known as cortex steals the spotlight with its mesmerizing hues. The molecular layer takes on an enchanting pink shade while the granular layer exudes a deep purple tone. Delving deeper into this stunning composition, we find white matter nestled within the grey matter like dark pink veins coursing through it. At the junction of these two layers lies one of nature's wonders - Purkinje cells. These specialized neurons stand out amidst their surroundings and play a crucial role in coordinating movement and maintaining balance. With a magnification factor of x20 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this print offers us an up-close glimpse into the complexity and elegance that exists within our own brains. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are and highlights the importance of understanding its anatomy for both scientific research and medical advancements. This photograph is not just visually striking but also holds immense educational value for those interested in neuroscience or anyone fascinated by exploring what lies beneath our skin's surface.
