Tendon fibres, TEM
Tendon fibres, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). A tendon is made up of parallel bundles of collagen fibres. Tendons are inelastic, though with a degree of flexibility, and attach a muscle to a bone. Magnification: x75, 000 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of tendon fibres, as seen through a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). The image reveals the remarkable structure of tendons, which are composed of parallel bundles of collagen fibres. Tendons play a crucial role in our bodies by connecting muscles to bones, providing stability and facilitating movement. At a magnification level of x75,000 and measuring 6x7cm in size, this microscopic view offers an up-close exploration into the anatomy of tendons. The vibrant colours used in the TEM add an artistic touch to this scientific marvel, highlighting the complexity and strength inherent within these fibrous structures. While tendons are primarily known for their inelasticity, this image also hints at their flexibility. It is fascinating to observe how these bundles intertwine and align themselves with precision throughout the human body. This photograph serves as a reminder that even on such a minuscule scale, nature's design is awe-inspiring. Science Photo Library has once again captured an extraordinary subject matter through its lens. By delving into microscopic realms and presenting them with clarity and elegance, they continue to showcase the hidden wonders that exist within our own bodies.
