Cytoskeleton, TEM
Cytoskeleton. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the cytoskeleton of a human skin cell. The cell nucleus is at centre right. The rest of the cells contents have been biochemically extracted. The cytoskeleton is made up of three types of proteins; actin filaments, microtubules and intermediate filaments. The cytoskeleton maintains the cells shape, allows some cellular mobility and is involved in intracellular transport. Magnification: x3, 800 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a human skin cell's cytoskeleton. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are granted a glimpse into the complex inner workings of cellular biology. At the centre right, we can see the cell nucleus, surrounded by an array of vibrant structures. These structures make up the cytoskeleton, which consists of three types of proteins: actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. The cytoskeleton plays multiple crucial roles within the cell; it maintains its shape, enables cellular mobility, and facilitates intracellular transport. The blue background provides a striking contrast to highlight these microscopic wonders. Through biochemical extraction techniques employed in capturing this image, all other contents of the cell have been removed except for its structural framework. Printed at 10 centimetres wide with a magnification level of x3,800, every detail is meticulously preserved for our exploration and admiration. This photograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also offers valuable insights into one aspect of cellular life that often goes unnoticed. In summary, Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring visual representation that bridges science and art seamlessly.
