Coronary capillary, SEM
Coronary capillary. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a freeze- fractured coronary capillary blood vessel. Red blood cells (erythrocytes, red) are seen in the capillary. The coronary capillaries supply the contracting heart muscle with oxygen, transported from the lungs by the erythrocytes. Metabolic waste is removed from the muscle by the erythrocytes. Magnification: x3000 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a coronary capillary, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The freeze-fractured section reveals the delicate network of blood vessels that supply oxygen to the contracting heart muscle. In this mesmerizing image, red blood cells or erythrocytes can be seen coursing through the capillary, transporting vital oxygen from the lungs and removing metabolic waste from the muscle tissue. The magnification at x3000 allows us to appreciate the remarkable details of this microscopic world within our own bodies. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the complex anatomy and circulation system that keeps our hearts healthy and functioning optimally. The vibrant hues in this SEM capture add an artistic touch to an otherwise scientific subject matter. It serves as a reminder of how even on such small scales, there is immense beauty hidden within our bodies. This photograph not only highlights the importance of these tiny vessels but also celebrates their role in sustaining life. Whether you are fascinated by histology or simply intrigued by human anatomy, this print provides both educational value and aesthetic appeal. It invites viewers to marvel at nature's design while deepening their understanding of how our circulatory system works seamlessly to support overall health.
