Nerve cells, SEM

Nerve cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of nerve cells, known as neurones. Nerve cells occur in the brain, spinal cord, and in ganglia. Each nerve cell has a large cell body (brown) with several long processes extending from it. The processes usually consist of one thicker axon and several thinner branched dendrites. The dendrites collect information in the form of nerve impulses from other nerve cells and pass it to the cell body. This information is interpreted by the cell body, and then passed on along the axon. In this way neurones allow information to be rapidly received, interpreted, and relayed around the body. Magnification: x800 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nerve cells, also known as neurones. Coloured with vibrant hues, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures the essence of these vital components found in the brain, spinal cord, and ganglia. Each nerve cell is characterized by a prominent cell body in rich brown tones, accompanied by numerous elongated processes extending from it. These processes consist of one thicker axon and several thinner branched dendrites that play crucial roles in information transmission within our nervous system. The dendrites act as collectors, receiving nerve impulses from other neighbouring nerve cells and relaying them to the cell body for interpretation. Once interpreted, this valuable information is swiftly passed along the axon. Neurones are fundamental to our ability to rapidly receive, interpret, and relay information throughout our bodies. They form an intricate network that enables seamless communication between different parts of our anatomy. This microscopic image magnified at x800 reveals their remarkable structure and highlights their significance in facilitating efficient neural communication. The mesmerizing complexity displayed in this photograph serves as a reminder of the incredible teamwork exhibited by these neurones within us. Together they function harmoniously to ensure smooth operation of our nervous system—a testament to the power of collaboration even at a cellular level.
