Gastritis, light micrograph C016 / 0507
Gastritis. Light micrograph of a section through an inflamed human stomach (gastritis), showing an abnormal accumulation of white blood cells (leucocytes) in the connective tissue deep to the surface mucosal epithelium. The leucocytic infiltration includes neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells and eosinophils that populate the tissue in response to damage caused, for example, by excessive alcohol, certain drugs such as aspirin, stress, autoimmune reactions, or infectious agents notably H. pylori bacteria. Chronic gastritis may lead to peptic ulcers and in some cases gastric cancer. Magnification: x125, when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Gastritis" offers a glimpse into the intricate world of our digestive system. Through a light micrograph, we are presented with a section of an inflamed human stomach, showcasing the consequences of various factors on our delicate gastric lining. The image reveals an abnormal accumulation of white blood cells (leucocytes) in the connective tissue beneath the surface mucosal epithelium. These leucocytes include neutrophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils that have gathered in response to damage caused by excessive alcohol consumption, certain drugs like aspirin, stress, autoimmune reactions or infectious agents such as H. pylori bacteria. Chronic gastritis can arise from this unhealthy leucocytic infiltration and may lead to peptic ulcers or even gastric cancer if left untreated. The magnification level employed for this print is x125 when printed at 10 centimeters wide. By shedding light on the cellular responses within our bodies due to external influences and internal imbalances, this photograph serves as a reminder of how intricately connected our overall well-being is to maintaining a healthy gastrointestinal tract. It emphasizes the importance of understanding these microscopic processes in order to prevent and treat conditions that affect millions worldwide. Captured by MICROSCAPE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's expertise in scientific imagery and histological analysis techniques, this print provides both educational value and aesthetic appeal for those fascinated by biology's hidden wonders.
