Description
Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a heavily degenerated gallbladder surface. On display are epithelial cells with microvilli (green), which line the inside of the gallbladder. Some cells are apoptotic, or dying off (olive green). There is also a detachment of the epithelial layer -- the underlying connective tissue (beige) can be seen -- and bleeding (erythrocytes, red). Gallstones and bile duct cancer can cause damage. Normally the gallbladder is then be removed. Magnification is 1300x at 12x12cm image size.
