Coloured SEM of healthy bladder epithelium
Bladder epithelium. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of healthy urinary bladder epithelium or mucosa. This lining is formed from epithelial cells (brown) which have tiny plaques (green dots) on their surface. The epithelium is highly folded. Both the plaques and folds enable the urinary bladder to accommodate large changes in surface area which occur as it fills or empties. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of healthy bladder epithelium, providing a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of our urinary system. The image reveals the inner lining of the bladder, composed of specialized cells known as epithelial cells, depicted in a rich brown hue. These remarkable cells possess tiny plaques that adorn their surface like vibrant green dots, adding an element of visual intrigue to this microscopic landscape. The highly folded nature of the bladder's epithelium becomes apparent through this SEM image. This unique structure serves a vital purpose: it enables the urinary bladder to accommodate significant changes in surface area as it fills or empties during its essential function within our bodies. Although we are unaware of its magnification scale, this photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and adaptability inherent in even our smallest anatomical components. Through this stunning portrayal captured by Science Photo Library, we gain insight into both the beauty and functionality found within our own bodies. It reminds us that beneath what is visible to the naked eye lies an awe-inspiring realm waiting to be explored—a testament to the wonders and intricacies present within every aspect of human anatomy.
