Microglial white blood cell, SEM C019 / 0246
Microglia. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an activated microglial white blood cell. This immune system cell is found in the brain and spinal cord. It is a phagocyte, that is, it engulfs pathogens and foreign objects and destroys them. Magnification: x3000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a microglial white blood cell, captured through a scanning electron microscope. Colored in vibrant hues against a black background, this image highlights the remarkable features and functions of these immune system cells within the central nervous system. Microglia are specialized phagocytes that play a crucial role in protecting our brain and spinal cord from pathogens and foreign objects. With their ability to engulf and destroy harmful substances, they act as vigilant guardians of our neurological health. At a magnification of x3000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every detail is brought to life with stunning clarity. The delicate structures and intricate patterns on the surface of this activated microglial cell are truly awe-inspiring. Immunology enthusiasts will appreciate how this photograph captures not only the scientific significance but also the aesthetic appeal of these immunological powerhouses. It serves as a visual reminder of the complex mechanisms underlying our body's defense systems. Photographer Steve Gschmeissner has skillfully immortalized this moment in time, showcasing both artistry and scientific precision. This image from Science Photo Library invites us to marvel at nature's wonders while deepening our understanding of neuroglia biology and immune responses within our bodies.
