Canvas Print : Skin layers, light micrograph
Canvas Prints from Science Photo Library
Skin layers, light micrograph
Skin layers. Coloured light micrograph of a section through human skin layers. The top layer is the stratum corneum (flaky, orange), a cornified layer of the epidermis that is composed of flattened, dead skin cells that form the surface of the skin. The dead cells from this layer are continuously being shed and replaced by cells from the living epidermal layer below (stratum germinativum, yellow). The lowest layer seen here is the dermis (red, bottom). This is a thick layer of fatty and connective tissue that supports and nourishes the epidermis. The skin is the bodys largest organ, accounting for around 15 per cent of the bodys weight. Magnification: x200 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate layers of human skin, as captured through a light micrograph. The image reveals a cross-section of the skin, highlighting its various components and functions. At the topmost layer, we see the stratum corneum depicted in a flaky orange hue. This cornified layer consists of flattened, lifeless skin cells that form the outermost surface of our skin. Continuously shedding and renewing itself, these dead cells make way for fresh ones from the living epidermal layer below. The vibrant yellow shade represents this underlying stratum germinativum where new cells are generated to replace those shed above. Finally, at the bottom lies the dermis portrayed in striking red tones. Composed of fatty and connective tissues, this thick layer provides crucial support and nourishment to sustain healthy epidermal growth. It is fascinating to note that our skin serves as our body's largest organ, accounting for approximately 15 percent of our total weight. This remarkable photograph offers us an up-close glimpse into its complex biology and structure. With a magnification level of x200 when printed at 10cm wide, this stunning light micrograph brings forth both scientific precision and artistic beauty in capturing such an essential aspect of human anatomy.
