EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fractured tendon, SEM F006 / 8642" offers a close-up view of the intricate world within our bodies. Captured by renowned photographer Steve Gschmeissner for Science Photo Library, this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showcases a fractured flexor tendon in the finger. The image reveals the mesmerizing arrangement of collagen fibres that form the tendon. Despite their parallel alignment, these fibres make the tendon both inflexible and flexible simultaneously. Tendons play a crucial role in connecting muscles to bones, enabling movement and stability. At a magnification of x5000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, every minute detail is brought to life with astonishing clarity. The vibrant colours highlight the complexity and beauty found within our own bodies. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph holds immense scientific significance. It serves as an invaluable resource for healthcare professionals and researchers studying injuries like fractures or breaks in tendons. By offering an up-close look at such microscopic structures, it aids in understanding how these injuries occur and potentially guides advancements in medicine. "Fractured tendon" invites viewers into a realm where art meets science—a visual journey that captivates both curiosity and appreciation for the intricacies of human anatomy.
