Red blood cells, SEM
Red blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of red blood cells (RBCs, erythrocytes). Red blood cells are biconcave, disc-shaped cells that transport oxygen from the lungs to body cells. They circulate in the blood and also remove carbon dioxide to the lungs for exhalation. Their red colour is due to the oxygen-carrying protein haemoglobin. Red blood cells, the most abundant cell in the blood, have no nucleus and are about 7 micrometres across. Magnification: x5000 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of red blood cells, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a mesmerizing array of biconcave, disc-shaped cells that play a vital role in our bodies. Red blood cells are responsible for transporting life-sustaining oxygen from our lungs to every cell in our body, ensuring their proper functioning. As they circulate within our bloodstream, these remarkable cells also remove carbon dioxide waste and transport it back to the lungs for exhalation. Their vibrant red hue is owed to the presence of haemoglobin, an oxygen-carrying protein that gives them their characteristic color. Being the most abundant type of cell in our blood, red blood cells possess unique features. They lack a nucleus and measure approximately 7 micrometers across. This particular print has been magnified 5000 times its original size when printed at 10 centimeters across, allowing us to appreciate even the smallest details of these essential components of human physiology. The artist behind this stunning artwork is Steve Gschmeissner who utilized computer-generated techniques to transform scientific data into visually striking imagery. With its blend of artistry and scientific precision, this print serves as a testament to both nature's elegance and humanity's quest for knowledge about ourselves.
