Nasal epithelium, SEM
Nasal epithelium, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The nasal cavity contains both cilated (pink) and non-ciliated (secretory) cells. The cilia help to move mucus (produced by secretory cells) and foreign bodies away from the respiratory tract and towards the outside of the body. Magnification: x2650 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of nasal epithelium, as seen through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The image reveals the complex structure of the nasal cavity, which comprises both cilated and non-ciliated cells. The pink-hued cilia play a crucial role in facilitating respiration by aiding in the movement of mucus produced by secretory cells and foreign bodies away from the respiratory tract towards the body's exterior. At a magnification level of x2650 when printed at 10 centimetres across, this SEM offers an up-close glimpse into our internal biology. It highlights how these tiny structures work harmoniously to maintain a healthy respiratory system. The false-coloured rendering adds depth and clarity to each individual cell, making it easier for researchers and students alike to study histology and anatomical features. The nasal epithelium is an essential component of our pulmonary function, ensuring that air we breathe remains clean and free from harmful particles. This photograph serves as a reminder of the remarkable complexity present within our own bodies while also showcasing the aesthetic appeal found within scientific imagery.
