False-colour TEM of a human lymphocyte

False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a single human lymphocyte, the smallest of the white blood cells. The large, central nucleus is indented and genetic material (chromatin - DNA) is condensed and located against the nuclear wall, appearing red/brown. The cytoplasm (yellow/green) is sparse but contains a few mitochondria; these small, brown, cigar- shaped bodies are the sites of energy production and storage within the cell. The outer plasma membrane supports a few microvilli (projections). Lymphocytes undergo transformations when activated in their role in immunological defence. Magnification: x2, 800 at 35mm size

Chromatin Immune Lymphocyte Mitochondria Nucleus White Blood Cell Cells False Coloured


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a human lymphocyte, the smallest among white blood cells. The intricate details captured in this image offer a glimpse into the fascinating anatomy of these vital immune system defenders. At the center of attention lies the large nucleus, indented and housing condensed genetic material known as chromatin or DNA. Its striking red/brown appearance against the nuclear wall demands immediate attention. Surrounding it is the sparse cytoplasm, depicted in shades of yellow and green, which contains a few mitochondria - small cigar-shaped bodies responsible for energy production and storage within the cell. The outer plasma membrane supports delicate microvilli projections that enhance its functionality. These lymphocytes play an essential role in immunological defense, undergoing transformations when activated to protect our body from harmful invaders. With a magnification level of x2,800 at 35mm size, this mesmerizing print from Science Photo Library allows us to marvel at the intricacies hidden within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder of both our vulnerability and resilience as we continue to unravel nature's mysteries on a cellular level.
