Brain surface. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a brain ventricle. Ventricles are cavities within the brain that are continuous with the central canal of the spinal cord and filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The cilia (hair-like structures, green) on the surface of the ventricle help to circulate the CSF. Magnification: x1100 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.
