Plasma cell, TEM
Plasma cell, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This section has revealed the cells large central nucleus (brown). Surrounding this is large amounts of rough endoplasmic reticulum (blue layers). Plasma cells, which are found in the blood and lymph, are mature B lymphocytes (white blood cells) that produce and secrete antibodies during an immune response.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a plasma cell, beautifully captured using coloured transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The image reveals the intricate details of this vital cell type found in both blood and lymph. At the center of the cell lies its large central nucleus, depicted in a striking brown hue. Surrounding the nucleus is an abundance of rough endoplasmic reticulum, represented by layers of mesmerizing blue. Plasma cells play a crucial role in our immune system as mature B lymphocytes or white blood cells. During an immune response, these specialized cells diligently produce and secrete antibodies into our bloodstream to combat harmful pathogens. This remarkable process can now be visualized with astonishing clarity through this TEM micrograph. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with a magnification level of x6000, this image allows us to appreciate the intricacies of cellular biology on a whole new level. It provides valuable insights into antibody synthesis and highlights the importance of plasma cells in maintaining our overall health. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an awe-inspiring piece that seamlessly combines artistry and scientific discovery. This false-coloured histological masterpiece serves as a testament to their commitment to showcasing cutting-edge research while capturing the beauty inherent within our biological world.
