Cytoskeleton in unicellular parasite, SEM C018 / 0518
Cytoskeleton in unicellular parasite, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). All cells have a support and transport network called the cytoskeleton. In the single-celled parasite shown here, Trypanosoma brucei (the causative agent of African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness), most of the cytoskeleton runs beneath the cell membrane, forming a strong and flexible microtubule corset. The bulge within the cell is the remains of the nucleus and the pink structure running the length of the cell is the flagellum, the motile mechanism of the cell. Magnification: x5500 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate cytoskeleton of a unicellular parasite known as Trypanosoma brucei, which is responsible for causing African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness. The cytoskeleton serves as a support and transport network within all cells, but in this particular parasite, it forms a robust microtubule corset beneath the cell membrane. The image showcases the remarkable strength and flexibility of the cytoskeleton, with most of its structure running underneath the cell membrane. The bulge visible within the cell represents the remains of its nucleus, while an eye-catching pink structure extends along its length - this is none other than the flagellum, which enables motility for this tiny organism. With a magnification level of x5500 when printed at 10 centimeters across, every detail becomes apparent in this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Against a black background, we are able to appreciate both the beauty and complexity that lies within these microscopic organisms. This photograph not only highlights fascinating aspects of cellular biology but also sheds light on parasitology and microbiology. It serves as a reminder that even in seemingly simple organisms like unicellular parasites, there exists an intricate world waiting to be explored under powerful scientific tools such as scanning electron microscopes.
