Pancreas cells, SEM
Pancreas cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of acinar (exocrine) pancreatic cells. Acinar cells produce and excrete digestive enzymes to the small intestine, via the pancreatic ducts. The enzymes are excreted in vesicles known as zymogen granules (red). The enzymes are activated in the small intestine and aid the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Magnification: x330 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of pancreas cells, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image is colored to highlight the various components and structures within these exocrine pancreatic cells. Acinar cells, depicted here in stunning detail, play a crucial role in our digestive system by producing and releasing digestive enzymes into the small intestine via specialized ducts. The zymogen granules, seen as vibrant red vesicles within the image, contain these powerful enzymes that aid in breaking down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins during digestion. Once activated in the small intestine, they contribute to our body's physiological processes. With a magnification of x330 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and organization of these vital cellular structures. It offers an intriguing glimpse into the microscopic world that underlies our biological functions. Whether you are studying biology or simply fascinated by human anatomy and physiology, this visually striking SEM image provides both scientific insight and aesthetic appeal. Its false-colored presentation adds an artistic touch while maintaining its scientific integrity. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of how even at such minuscule scales, nature's wonders never cease to amaze us.
