Brain surface, SEM
Brain surface. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a brain ventricle. Ventricles are cavities within the brain that are continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord and filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The cilia (hair-like structures, pink) on the surface of the ventricle help to circulate the CSF. Magnification: x1100 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

Central Nervous System Cilia Cilium Lining Surface Ventricle Brain False Coloured Neurological Neurology
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the brain's surface, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a colored SEM view of a brain ventricle, one of the cavities within the brain that connects to the spinal cord's central canal. These ventricles are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), crucial for protecting and nourishing our precious neural tissue. What truly mesmerizes in this image is the presence of delicate cilia, resembling pink hair-like structures covering the ventricle's surface. These ciliary hairs play an essential role in circulating CSF throughout our central nervous system. With a magnification level of x1100 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this print allows us to appreciate even the tiniest details. The false-colored representation adds an artistic touch while maintaining scientific accuracy. It serves as a reminder that beneath its aesthetic appeal lies profound biological significance. This photograph not only celebrates healthy anatomy but also provides valuable insights into neurology and neurological research. As we delve into this extraordinary world hidden within our brains, we gain greater appreciation for its complexity and marvel at how each component contributes to our overall well-being. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional visual masterpiece that invites us to explore and understand more about ourselves through their lens.
