Squamous epithelium C014 / 4643
Squamous epithelium. Laser scanning confocal micrograph (LSCM) of a section through stratified squamous epithelial cells. Epithelial tissues line the cavities and surfaces of structures throughout the body, and also form many glands. Squamous epithelium is characterised by its most superficial layer consisting of flat, scale-like cells. Epithelial tissue that is two or more cells thick is known as stratified epithelium

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Squamous epithelium C014 / 4643" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of biological structures. Captured using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM), this image showcases a section through stratified squamous epithelial cells. Epithelial tissues play a vital role in lining the cavities and surfaces of various structures within our bodies, as well as forming numerous glands. The distinguishing feature of squamous epithelium lies in its superficial layer, composed of flat, scale-like cells that resemble delicate tiles on a surface. This particular photograph beautifully captures the layered arrangement and unique structure of these cells. The fluorescent lighting used during imaging enhances their vibrant colors and highlights their distinct characteristics. As we delve deeper into understanding the complexities of human anatomy, histology plays an essential role. By examining sections such as this one under a microscope, scientists gain valuable insights into cell biology and cytology. The use of confocal microscopy further enables researchers to explore cellular structures with remarkable precision. Photographed by PAN XUNBIN for Science Photo Library, this image is not only visually striking but also serves as a testament to the incredible advancements made in scientific imaging techniques. It reminds us that even at microscopic levels, there is immense beauty waiting to be discovered within our own bodies.
