Cell structure, fluorescent micrograph
Cell structure. Fluorescent light micrograph of cultured cells from a cell line derived from African green monkey kidney cells. Microtubules, part of the cells cytoskeleton, are red. The cytoskeleton is responsible for intracellular transport, structure and motility of the cell, as well as segregating the chromosomes during nuclear division. Lysosomes, vesicles that contain enzymes for breaking down waste materials, are green

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate cell structure of cultured cells derived from African green monkey kidney cells. The fluorescent light micrograph highlights various components within the cell, providing a visual insight into its inner workings. The red strands seen throughout the image are microtubules, an essential part of the cytoskeleton. This network of protein filaments plays a crucial role in intracellular transport, maintaining cellular structure, enabling cell motility, and aiding in chromosome segregation during nuclear division. In contrast to the vibrant red microtubules, green-colored vesicles known as lysosomes can be observed. These specialized organelles contain enzymes responsible for breaking down waste materials within the cell. Through this stunning display of immunofluorescence staining techniques and advanced microscopy technology, we gain a deeper understanding of cellular biology and cytology. It serves as a reminder that even at such microscopic levels, there is an extraordinary complexity and organization that underlies all living organisms. This remarkable photograph not only captures the beauty inherent in scientific exploration but also emphasizes how research continues to unravel the mysteries hidden within our own biological makeup.
