Programmed cell death
Programmed cell death. Comparison of a fluorescent light micrograph (top) and transmission electron micrograph (TEM, bottom) of programmed cell death (apoptosis). This is a normal part of a cell life cycle. Part of the process is the fragmentation of the DNA (the cells genetic material). This is the process seen here, as the green fluorescent labels (top) and the dark areas (bottom)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. The top image, taken with a fluorescent light microscope, showcases vibrant green labels that highlight specific areas within the cell undergoing this natural phenomenon. In contrast, the bottom image captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) reveals dark regions representing the same apoptotic cells. Programmed cell death is an essential part of a cell's life cycle and plays a crucial role in maintaining overall cellular health. One notable aspect of this process is the fragmentation of DNA, which can be observed in both images. As seen here, the green fluorescent labels and dark areas provide a striking visual comparison between these two microscopy techniques. This photograph not only offers valuable insights into biological processes but also serves as a reminder of how delicate and intricate life at the cellular level can be. It highlights our ability to study and understand these phenomena through advanced imaging technologies like light microscopes and TEMs. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into nature's complexity through their exceptional collection of scientific imagery.
