T-lymphocyte, TEM
T-lymphocyte. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a T- lymphocyte white blood cell. The cell contains a large nucleus (green/black), cytoplasm (brown) and cell organelles (red). T-lymphocytes are cells of the human immune system. They are produced in bone marrow and mature in the thymus gland. This cell type is susceptible to infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the causative agent of AIDS. There are three major types of white blood cells: granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes, which protect the body against invasion by foreign substances. Magnification: x10, 250 when printed 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a T-lymphocyte, a vital component of the human immune system. Through the lens of a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this coloured micrograph reveals intricate details of this white blood cell. The T-lymphocyte is characterized by its large nucleus in striking green and black hues, surrounded by brown cytoplasm and highlighted red cell organelles. T-lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow and mature in the thymus gland, playing a crucial role in defending our bodies against foreign invaders. However, they are also susceptible to infection by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), which causes AIDS. In this image, we witness the complexity and beauty of our biological defenses at work. The magnification level of x10,250 allows us to appreciate every minute detail when printed at 10 centimeters high. White blood cells come in three major types: granulocytes, lymphocytes (including T-cells), and monocytes. Together, they form an army that tirelessly safeguards our well-being from harmful substances attempting to infiltrate our body. Science Photo Library brings us yet another stunning visual representation of nature's wonders with this false-coloured TEM photograph. It serves as a reminder of both the vulnerability and resilience within our immune response – an awe-inspiring testament to the intricacies of life itself.
