Eye lens cells, SEM
Eye lens. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured lens (crystalline lens) of an eye, showing stacked cuboidal epithelium cells. The lens, which is found at the front of the eye, focuses light onto the light- sensitive cells in the retina at the back of the eye. Cuboidal epithelium is found at the front of the lens. Magnification: x2600 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of eye lens cells. Taken using a scanning electron microscope, the image reveals a freeze-fractured lens, or crystalline lens, of an eye. The stacked cuboidal epithelium cells are prominently displayed, forming a mesmerizing pattern that highlights their structural complexity. The lens plays a crucial role in our vision by focusing light onto the light-sensitive cells in the retina at the back of our eyes. Positioned at the front of the eye, this delicate organ ensures clear and sharp visual perception. The false-colored SEM image provides valuable insights into the biology and anatomy of healthy human eyes. It offers viewers an up-close look at these normal eye structures responsible for one of our most vital senses - sight. With a magnification level of x2600 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate even the tiniest details within these specialized cells. The vibrant colors used in this false-color representation enhance its aesthetic appeal while also aiding in understanding different cell types present within cuboidal epithelium. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's wonders through their remarkable scientific imagery collection. This particular print serves as both an educational tool for studying histology and as a visually stunning piece that celebrates the intricacies found within our own bodies.
