Bird bone tissue, SEM
Bird bone tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of cancellous (spongy) bone from a robin. This tissue, found in the interior of bones, is characterised by a honeycomb arrangement of trabeculae (columns) and spaces. This honeycomb structure provides support and strength to the bone. Magnification: x 15 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of bird bone tissue. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), it reveals the colourful and detailed structure of cancellous (spongy) bone from a robin. The honeycomb arrangement of trabeculae, or columns, and spaces is characteristic of this tissue found in the interior of bones. The honeycomb structure serves an essential purpose - providing support and strength to the bone. It acts as a natural reinforcement system that helps birds maintain their agility and flight capabilities. This microscopic view showcases nature's remarkable design for optimal functionality. With a magnification level of x15 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this image allows us to appreciate the hidden wonders within avian anatomy. The false colouring adds depth and visual appeal, highlighting the delicate network that forms these supportive structures. Beyond its aesthetic value, this photograph holds scientific significance by offering valuable insights into osteology and histology studies. Researchers can study such images to better understand how healthy bird bones are structured internally. Overall, this print reminds us of the incredible complexity present even in seemingly ordinary creatures like robins. It invites us to marvel at nature's ingenuity while deepening our understanding of avian biology through artistry and science combined.
