Skin sweat glands, light micrograph
Skin sweat glands. Light micrograph of a transverse section through skin from a human foot. The skin is made up of an outer epidermis (across top) and a lower epidermis (deep purple). Sweat glands (pinkish-purple) are found in the dermis (the skin layer below the epidermis) as balls of twisted glandular tubes, which unite to form the sweat ducts (purple) which secrete sweat through pores in the epidermis. Magnification: x103 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of skin sweat glands in a transverse section from a human foot. The image showcases the complexity and beauty of our body's biological makeup. The top layer, known as the epidermis, is visible across the upper part of the print, while the deeper purple shade represents the lower epidermis. Nestled within this layered structure are pinkish-purple sweat glands that reside in the dermis, which lies beneath the epidermis. These sweat glands appear as twisted balls of glandular tubes, intertwining to form sweat ducts depicted in shades of purple. These ducts play a crucial role in secreting sweat through tiny pores present on our skin's surface. With a magnification level of x103 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this micrograph allows us to appreciate these microscopic structures that contribute to maintaining healthy bodily functions. Whether used for educational purposes or personal interest in biology and anatomy, this light micrograph provides an insightful glimpse into our skin's histological composition. It serves as a reminder of how remarkable and complex our bodies truly are.
