Cartilage cells, TEM
Cartilage cells. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through chondrocytes from nasal hyaline cartilage. The cell nuclei (blue) can be seen along with rough endoplasmic reticulum (green lines) and glycogen granules (brown). Chondrocytes are the only cells found in cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is found in the epiphyseal plates of growing bones, and in the nose, larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe) and bronchus. These cells produce and maintain the cartilages extracellular matrix. Magnification: x800 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of cartilage cells. Taken through a transmission electron microscope (TEM), it offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the inner workings of chondrocytes found in nasal hyaline cartilage. The vibrant colors bring to life the various components within these cells. The blue hues represent the cell nuclei, providing a focal point amidst the complex cellular structures. Green lines depict rough endoplasmic reticulum, an organelle involved in protein synthesis and folding. Meanwhile, brown glycogen granules add texture and depth to this microscopic landscape. Chondrocytes are vital players in maintaining and producing the extracellular matrix that forms cartilage tissue. They are exclusive inhabitants of this connective tissue, which can be found not only in growing bones' epiphyseal plates but also in crucial areas such as the nose, larynx, trachea, and bronchus. With a magnification of x800 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image allows us to appreciate the intricate details that make up our biological anatomy. It serves as a reminder of how even on such minuscule scales, life thrives with purpose and complexity. Science Photo Library has once again captured nature's beauty through their lens—a visual testament to both scientific exploration and artistic expression.
