Unmyelinated nerve bundle, TEM
Unmyelinated nerve bundle. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a group of unmylinated nerve fibres. Each fibre is made up of several unmyelinated axons (pale blue) enclosed within a single schwann cell (red). A ring of perineurial cells surrounds the nerve bundle. Two capillaries (white, upper left and centre right) can also be seen. Unmyelinated nerve fibres lack the concentric myelin sheaths that surround other types of nerve, and which improve the conduction of nerve impulses. Magnification x3000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of an unmyelinated nerve bundle. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are granted a glimpse into the fascinating world of biology and anatomy. The image reveals a section through a group of unmyelinated nerve fibres, each composed of several pale blue axons enclosed within a single red Schwann cell. Surrounding the nerve bundle is a ring of perineurial cells, adding to the complexity and beauty of this microscopic landscape. As our eyes explore further, two white capillaries emerge in the upper left and center right corners, reminding us that even at such minuscule scales, life's interconnectedness persists. Unmyelinated nerve fibres lack the concentric myelin sheaths found in other types of nerves. These sheaths play a crucial role in enhancing the conduction of nerve impulses throughout our body's neural network. The absence of these sheaths makes unmyelinated fibres distinct and highlights their unique function within our nervous system. With its magnification set at x3000 when printed 10 centimetres wide, this extraordinary image invites us to marvel at the wonders hidden within ourselves. It serves as a reminder that beneath our skin lies an awe-inspiring world waiting to be explored by those with curious minds and keen eyes for detail.
