Purkinje nerve cells, SEM
Purkinje nerve cells. Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of two Purkinje nerve cells from the cerebellum of the brain. The cells comprise a flask-shaped cell body, from which branch numerous thread-like dendrites. Purkinje cells form the junction between the granular and molecular layers of the grey matter of the cerebellum. Nerve impulses are relayed to the cells through their dendrites. The cerebellum controls balance, posture and muscle coordination. Magnification: x3200 at 7.5x10 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Purkinje nerve cells, as captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals two Purkinje cells from the cerebellum, a vital part of the brain responsible for balance, posture, and muscle coordination. The flask-shaped cell bodies of these neurons are prominently displayed in this monochromatic snapshot. From their bodies branch numerous thread-like dendrites that resemble an elaborate network. These dendrites serve as conduits for relaying nerve impulses to the Purkinje cells. Situated between the granular and molecular layers of grey matter in the cerebellum, these specialized cells play a crucial role in maintaining healthy neurological function. Their connections form junctions within this complex neural tissue. With a magnification level of x3200 at 7.5x10 inches, this SEM photograph allows us to marvel at the intricacies of our own nervous system on a microscopic scale. It serves as a reminder of both the complexity and elegance present within our brains. As we delve into neurology and histology through images like this one, we gain deeper insights into how our brains work and appreciate their remarkable capabilities. This stunning visual representation is courtesy of Science Photo Library - an invaluable resource for scientific imagery that continues to inspire curiosity about our world's wonders.
