SEM of human nerve cells
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of human nerve cells growing on the surface of an integrated circuit (silicon chip). The picture was taken in the course of research into biohybrid circuits, & demonstrates how much smaller organic circuits are than man-made ones. Biohybrid circuits are possible electronic devices of the future that would combine organic & inorganic components. Magnification: x145 at 35mm size, x290 at 6x7cm size

Biohybrid Electronic Electronics Integrated Circuit Nerve Cell
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of human nerve cells growing on the surface of an integrated circuit, captured through a false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image serves as a testament to the remarkable potential of biohybrid circuits, which combine organic and inorganic components to create possible electronic devices of the future. In this mesmerizing composition, we witness the juxtaposition between man-made technology and nature's own creation. The nerve cells appear as delicate tendrils intertwining with the silicon chip, highlighting their ability to seamlessly integrate into our synthetic world. This visual representation also emphasizes just how much smaller organic circuits are compared to their artificial counterparts. The magnification at x145 for 35mm size and x290 for 6x7cm size allows us to delve deeper into this microscopic realm where science meets art. Each cell is meticulously detailed, revealing its complex structure and providing insight into its vital role within our nervous system. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image, we are reminded of the endless possibilities that lie ahead in bridging biology with electronics. It sparks curiosity about how these biohybrid circuits could revolutionize various fields such as medicine, communication systems, or even computing power. Science Photo Library has once again captured a momentous snapshot that not only captivates our imagination but also propels us towards a future where innovation knows no bounds.
