Kidney glomerulus, SEM
Kidney glomerulus, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The cells that usually surround the glomerulus have been removed to reveal the coiled capillary at the core of the glomerulus and its blood supply. The function of the glomeruli is to filter waste products from the blood. After the reabsorption of certain substances elsewhere in the kidney, the liquid is transported to the bladder as urine

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a kidney glomerulus, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals the core of the glomerulus, where a coiled capillary lies at its center, surrounded by removed cells. This unique perspective allows us to appreciate the delicate network responsible for filtering waste products from our blood. The glomeruli play a vital role in our excretory system, acting as efficient filters that remove harmful substances and maintain overall bodily balance. After certain substances are reabsorbed elsewhere in the kidney, this liquid is transported to the bladder as urine. Through false coloring techniques, this SEM image brings forth an anatomical marvel within our own bodies. The vibrant hues emphasize different structures and enhance our understanding of renal anatomy. It serves as a reminder of how intricately designed and interconnected our biological systems truly are. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable visual representation with great precision and detail. By exploring such images, we gain deeper insights into human biology while appreciating both its complexity and aesthetic appeal.
