Trachea cilia
Cilia in the trachea (or windpipe) are an important protective mechanism of the body and work to trap inhaled foreign particles, preventing them from becoming lodged in the lungs.
The image has been taken with a Teneo Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), at the Cellular and Molecular Imaging Core Facility (CMIC), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) scans a focused electron beam over a surface to create an image. The electrons in the beam interact with the sample, producing various signals that can be used to obtain information about the surface topography and composition.
