Fine Art Print : Crenated red blood cell, SEM
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Crenated red blood cell, SEM
Crenated red blood cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a crenated (spiked) red blood cell, known as an echinocyte. Red blood cells are usually biconcave, however this cell has been exposed to a concentrated solution, causing it to shrink. This osmotic shrinkage causes the change of shape. The main function of red blood cells is to distribute oxygen to body tissues and to carry waste carbon dioxide back to the lungs. Magnification: x13, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Gschmeissner showcases the intricate beauty of a crenated red blood cell, as seen through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Normally, red blood cells possess a distinctive biconcave shape; however, this particular cell has undergone osmotic shrinkage due to exposure to a concentrated solution. As a result, it has transformed into an echinocyte – characterized by its spiked appearance. The image is set against a striking black background that accentuates the vibrant colors and irregular contours of the cell. The false coloring technique employed further enhances our ability to appreciate the details of this biological marvel. With a magnification level of x13,000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every spike and curve becomes visible. Red blood cells play an essential role in our body's functioning by distributing oxygen to tissues and removing waste carbon dioxide from the lungs. This photograph offers us an extraordinary glimpse into their world on a microscopic scale. Gschmeissner's expertise in capturing scientific images shines through in this artwork. The combination of his technical skill with his artistic eye results in an image that not only educates but also captivates viewers with its unique form and coloration. Whether you are fascinated by biology or simply enjoy admiring nature's wonders up close, this print is sure to leave you awe-inspired.
