Microscopic Images from Inside the Human Body

March 30th 2009 01:25

The following incredible images were captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), with magnification factors of up to 250,000 which incredibly gives details of 1 to 5 nm in size. These images sourced form EnvironmentalGraffiti.com. See more images from inside your body here.

Red Blood Cells

These biconcave-shaped cells have the tall task of carrying oxygen to our entire body; in women there are about 4 to 5 million RBCs per microlitre (cubic millimetre) of blood and about 5 to 6 million in men. People who live at higher altitudes have even more RBCs because of the low oxygen levels in their environment.

Split End of Human Hair

Regular trimmings to your hair and good conditioner should help to prevent this unsightly picture.

Human Tongue With Taste Bud

The human tongue has about 10,000 taste buds that are involved with detecting salty, sour, bitter, sweet and savoury taste perceptions.

Villi of Small Intestine

Villi in the small intestine increase the surface area of the gut, which helps in the absorption of food. Look closely and you’ll see some food stuck in one of the crevices.

Sperm on the Surface of a Human Egg

Ian, these human organs and tissues cells are very remarkable, especially the Vili of small intestine. It almost have the same look as the human's brain!

Fascinating stuff, and with respect to the sperm only ONE wins the race, the power of one.

hahah Katyzz, at the power of one comment, now if only we could get people to remember that power when they are going up against the big Goliath of conglomerates and local council!

I wonder, are sperm naturally neon blue or have these been eradiated for the photograph?

Ian,

thanks for these, what an amazing universe we live in, truly!

Amazing photos! I wish I had the knowedge and ability to do this. Fantastic! If you have the chance will you take photos of an african american's relaxed hair and natural hair? I will be a subject if you like. I am interested in the difference between chemically damaged hair and hair that grows out using only natural products and the possible benifits. (i spelled that wrong I know) thanks in advance! {
