Bone tissue, SEM C013 / 4768
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: x53 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of bone tissue under a scanning electron microscope. The image, titled "Bone Tissue, SEM C013 / 4768" provides a close-up view of cancellous (spongy) bone found in the interior of bones. In contrast to cortical (compact) bone that forms the exterior, cancellous bone exhibits a distinct honeycomb arrangement composed of interconnected trabeculae. The network of rod-shaped trabeculae visible in this photograph serves as a vital support system for bones, imparting strength and resilience to the skeletal structure. These delicate structures are responsible for maintaining the integrity and stability of our bodies. While not seen in this particular image, it is worth noting that within these spaces lies bone marrow—a crucial component involved in blood formation. This microscopic marvel truly highlights the complexity and functionality inherent within our internal anatomy. With its vibrant colors and detailed textures, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into osteology—the study of bones—and invites us to appreciate both their aesthetic appeal and essential role in maintaining a healthy human body. Whether used for educational purposes or personal appreciation, this visually stunning piece from Science Photo Library captures the fascinating intricacies hidden beneath our skin's surface.
