EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of skeletal muscle fibres, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The false-colored image reveals the various components that make up these vital structures within our bodies. The vibrant green hue represents the endomysial connective tissue, which acts as a supportive sheath surrounding the muscle fibres. This connective tissue plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and function of skeletal muscles. At a magnification of x300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image allows us to appreciate the remarkable details present in each fibre. The striated pattern visible within these muscular sections highlights their characteristic appearance under high resolution. Skeletal muscles are part of our voluntary muscular system and are responsible for movement and locomotion. Within each muscle fibre lies myofibrils, which contain contractile proteins essential for muscle contraction. This histological sectioned view provides an anatomical insight into healthy skeletal muscles, showcasing their normal structure and organization. It serves as a reminder of how complex and fascinating our biological systems truly are. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary moment in biology with this stunning SEM photograph. Its artistic presentation invites viewers to marvel at the microscopic wonders that exist within our own bodies.
