Neutrophil white blood cell, SEM
Neutrophil white blood cell, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Neutrophils are part of the bodys immune response. They are highly motile, moving rapidly to areas of the body that are damaged or infected. They extrude extracellular traps to catch and engulf (phagocytose) and destroy pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, and foreign material that has entered the body

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible world of neutrophil white blood cells, captured through a scanning electron microscope. Neutrophils play a crucial role in our body's immune response, acting as the first line of defense against infections and damage. In this image, we witness the remarkable motility of these cells as they swiftly navigate towards areas that require their assistance. Their primary task is to engulf and destroy harmful pathogens like bacteria and viruses by releasing extracellular traps. These traps act as nets, capturing any foreign material that has entered our body. The vibrant colors used in this false-colored micrograph bring attention to the intricate details of this single neutrophil cell. The cut-out presentation allows us to focus solely on its structure and function within our biological system. As we delve into the realm of cell biology and cytology, it becomes evident how essential neutrophils are for maintaining a healthy immune system. This image not only highlights their vital role but also serves as a reminder of the complexity and beauty found within our own bodies. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph provides an awe-inspiring glimpse into the microscopic world where science meets artistry.
