Nerve cell, TEM
Nerve cell. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a nerve cell body in cross- section. The cell has a large nucleus (yellow) and inner nucleolus (red). Within the cells cytoplasm (green) darker outlines of energy-producing mitochondria, protein assembling ribosomes and other organelles can be seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a nerve cell, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The central focus lies on a single nerve cell body, revealing its complex internal structure. The vibrant colors added through false coloring enhance our understanding of this vital component of the nervous system. The large nucleus, depicted in yellow, commands attention as it houses the genetic material essential for cellular function. Within its depths lies an inner nucleolus colored in striking red hues. Surrounding these key components is the green cytoplasm that teems with life-sustaining organelles. Dark outlines within the cytoplasm highlight energy-producing mitochondria, protein assembling ribosomes, and various other organelles crucial to cellular processes. These microscopic powerhouses work tirelessly to ensure proper functioning and communication within the nervous system. As we gaze upon this stunning image, we are reminded of the remarkable complexity that underlies our brain's functionality. It serves as a testament to both nature's ingenuity and humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge in unraveling the mysteries of biology and neurology. This photograph from Science Photo Library not only captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time but also invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating world of neural histology.
