Fibrous Collection (#3)

Lactating breast tissue, SEM

Retina rod cells, SEM
Retina rod cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a freeze-fractured section through a retina, revealing the structure of its photoreceptors

Outer layers of the eye, SEM
Outer layers of the eye. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the choroid (top) and sclera (bottom) layers of the eye. The sclera is the white outer layer of the eye

Uterine fibroid, MRI scan

Lung silicosis, X-ray
Lung silicosis. Coloured X-ray of the lungs of a patient with silicosis, a type of pneumoconiosis. The orange masses in the lungs are areas of fibrous (scarred) tissue and inflammation

Skeletal muscle, SEM
Skeletal muscle. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a transverse section through skeletal muscle. The many muscle fibres (red) are seen, along with the elastic sheath (epimysium)

Coronary thrombosis, light micrograph
Coronary thrombosis. Light micrograph of a section through a thrombus (blood clot) in the coronary artery of the heart. The clot is packed full of red blood cells (red)

Fibrosis of the lung, X-ray
Lung fibrosis. Coloured X-ray of the chest of a patient with pulmonary (lung) fibrosis, or interstitial lung disease. Pulmonary fibrosis is the overgrowth of fibrous scar tissue (dark red)

Alzheimers disease brain cell, TEM
Alzheimers disease brain cell. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a neurofibrillary tangle in a nerve cell from the brain of a patient with Alzheimers disease

Polypropylene filaments, SEM
Polypropylene filaments. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of filaments of the plastic polypropylene, formed by the polymerization of propylene

Filter paper, SEM
Filter paper. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the cut end of a piece of filter paper showing its many cellulose fibres

Fibre-rich foods

Collagen, artwork
Collagen. Computer artwork showing the structure of collagen fibres (grey). Each fibre consists of many molecules of collagen

Budgerigar throat, SEM
Budgerigar throat. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the oesophagus of a budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus)

Collagen, SEM
Collagen fibres, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Collagen, a type of connective tissue, is the main structural protein in the body

Loose connective tissue, light micrograph
Loose connective tissue. Light micrograph of loose, or areolar, connective tissue. Loose connective tissue consists mainly of collagen and elastin fibres

Tendon fibres, SEM
Tendon fibres. Coloured freeze-fracture scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of tendon fibres. These fibres are made from collagen

Grass stem, SEM
Grass stem. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a grass stem (family Graminaceae). At upper centre is the vascular bundle

Collagen fibre, molecular model. Collagen is a long structural protein, which usually takes the form of a triple helix known as tropocollagen

Stacked peat pots. This pot is used for starting seeds and is made from compressed peat. The entire pot can be planted and the roots of the seedling grow trough the walls of the pot

Cumulonimbus clouds
Cumulonimbus capillatus clouds. These are cumulonimbus clouds, the upper part of which is fibrous (or cirriform). Cumulonimbus capillatus clouds can grow to great heights

"Fibrous: Unveiling the Intricate Network of Connective Tissues" Liver tissue cirrhosis, light micrograph: A closer look at liver tissue reveals the devastating effects of cirrhosis, where fibrous bands disrupt its normal structure. Tendon, SEM: Under the scanning electron microscope, tendons appear as a dense and resilient fibrous matrix that enables our bodies to move with strength and precision. Collagen synthesis and assembly, artwork: Delicate brushstrokes depict the intricate process of collagen synthesis and assembly – a vital component in forming strong fibrous tissues throughout our body. J. S. Henry Ltd Fireplace and Surrounds: Craftsmanship meets elegance as this stunning fireplace surround showcases its ornate design featuring intricate fibrous patterns carved into high-quality materials. Noyes Bros Advertisement: Step into luxury with Noyes Bros' exquisite collection of furniture upholstered in sumptuous fabrics adorned with subtle yet striking fibrous motifs – an embodiment of refined taste. Plant roots: Fibrous root of groundsel Senecio - Explore nature's engineering marvels as we delve beneath the soil to uncover the complex network of fine fibrous roots supporting plants like groundsel Senecio. Sugar Cane: The tall stalks sway gracefully in fields filled with sugar cane – their tough but flexible fibers hold together this valuable crop that sweetens our lives. Tendon, SEM (again): Another glimpse through the lens reveals tendon fibers interwoven meticulously like a tightly-knit fabric; these resilient structures enable us to perform remarkable feats every day.
