EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a gecko's retina, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals an oblique freeze-fracture section of the gecko's retina, providing us with a glimpse into its remarkable visual system. The Muller cells take center stage in this composition, depicted in vibrant yellow hues as they provide crucial support to the rod and cone cells represented in striking blue tones. Along the top of the image, larger neuronal cells painted in brilliant green create a mesmerizing contrast against their surroundings. With a magnification level of x2000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the microscopic details that make up this vital sensory organ. It offers insights into both normal anatomy and biology while highlighting how these receptor cells work together harmoniously to enable healthy vision. Through false coloring techniques employed during SEM imaging, we are able to witness the neural intricacies within the gecko's retinal structure. This visually stunning representation not only celebrates nature's wonders but also serves as a testament to scientific advancements that allow us to explore and understand life on such minute scales.
