Bone tissue, SEM C013 / 4766
Bone tissue. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of cancellous (spongy) bone. Bone tissue can be either cortical (compact) or cancellous. Cortical bone usually makes up the exterior of the bone, while cancellous bone is found in the interior. Cancellous bone is characterised by a honeycomb arrangement, comprising a network of trabeculae (rod-shaped tissue). These structures provide support and strength to the bone. The spaces within this tissue contain bone marrow (not seen), a blood forming substance. Magnification: x25 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of bone tissue at a microscopic level. The image, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), depicts cancellous (spongy) bone, one of the two types of bone tissue found in our bodies. Unlike cortical (compact) bone that forms the outer layer, cancellous bone resides within the interior. The distinguishing feature of cancellous bone is its honeycomb-like structure composed of interconnected trabeculae - rod-shaped tissues. These delicate yet resilient structures provide crucial support and strength to bones. Through this network, they help distribute forces evenly and contribute to overall skeletal integrity. Within the spaces created by these trabeculae lies an essential component called bone marrow, although it remains unseen in this particular image. Bone marrow plays a vital role as a blood-forming substance within our bodies. With a magnification factor of x25 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph offers viewers an extraordinary glimpse into the internal world of healthy anatomy. Its vibrant colors emphasize both its biological significance and aesthetic appeal. This stunning visual representation serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, nature's design never fails to astound us with its complexity and functionality.
