Eye anatomy, SEM
Eye anatomy. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showing part of the ciliary body (blue) and iris (right) of an eye. The ciliary body is a ring-shaped structure that surrounds the iris and joins to ligaments that hold the lens in place behind the iris. It also contains the ciliary muscle that is contracted to alter the curvature of the lens and focus light on the retina at the back of the eye. Magnification: x20 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of eye anatomy. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we are presented with a false-colored image that showcases the internal structures responsible for our vision. At first glance, our attention is drawn to the vibrant blue hues representing the ciliary body, which encircles and connects to ligaments holding the lens in place behind it. This ring-shaped structure plays a crucial role in adjusting the curvature of the lens through its contracted ciliary muscle, allowing us to focus light onto the retina at the back of our eyes. The level of detail captured by this SEM image is truly remarkable. Every muscular fiber and tissue within this delicate organ is brought to life, highlighting both its anatomical and physiological significance. It serves as a testament to how intricately designed our bodies are. As we delve deeper into understanding human biology, images like these become invaluable tools for researchers and medical professionals alike. They provide insights into ophthalmology and ocular health while fueling advancements in sight-related treatments. Whether you have an appreciation for scientific marvels or simply seek aesthetic beauty, this print invites you on an enlightening journey inside one of nature's most extraordinary creations –the human eye.
