Lymphocytes in hair follicle, SEM
Lymphocytes in hair follicle, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Large numbers of lymphocytes (yellow) are seen in inflamed and necrotic tissue at the base of hair shafts (red). This condition, where pus forms in skin diseases, is also known as pyoderma. Causes may be an infection, or an autoimmune disorder such as pyoderma gangrenosum.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases lymphocytes in a hair follicle, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals an abundance of yellow lymphocytes within inflamed and necrotic tissue at the base of red hair shafts. This particular condition is commonly referred to as pyoderma, characterized by the formation of pus in skin diseases. Pyoderma can be caused by various factors such as infections or autoimmune disorders like pyoderma gangrenosum. With a magnification of x3000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image provides a detailed insight into the intricate world of dermatology and histopathology. The presence of lymphocytes, white blood cells responsible for immune responses, indicates an active defense mechanism against harmful agents within the body. By studying these microscopic details, medical professionals gain valuable knowledge about skin diseases and their complications. This visually stunning photograph not only serves as an educational tool for healthcare practitioners but also highlights the importance of understanding conditions that affect our largest organ – the skin. It reminds us that even on a cellular level, our bodies are constantly engaged in complex battles to maintain health and well-being.
