Fish heart valve, SEM C015 / 8193
Fish heart valve, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Heart valves are found between the chambers of the heart and prevent the back-flow of blood. The fish heart pumps deoxygenated blood to the gills where it is oxygenated and then flows to the rest of the body

This photo print, titled "Fish Heart Valve" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of nature's engineering. Captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this coloured micrograph showcases the remarkable structure and function of a fish heart valve. Heart valves play an essential role in maintaining blood flow within the chambers of the heart. Acting as gatekeepers, they prevent any back-flow of blood, ensuring its efficient circulation throughout the body. In this image, we witness the delicate yet robust design that enables these valves to carry out their crucial task flawlessly. The fish heart serves as an extraordinary example of adaptation and survival in aquatic environments. Deoxygenated blood is pumped by this remarkable organ to reach the gills where it undergoes oxygenation before being distributed to nourish various tissues and organs. SUSUMU NISHINAGA's expertise behind this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the complexity inherent in every living creature. Through his lens, we gain insight into zoology, biology, and wildlife research while marveling at nature's ingenuity. Whether you are fascinated by animal anatomy or simply captivated by vibrant imagery from our natural world, this print invites you on a visual journey that celebrates both scientific exploration and artistic appreciation.
