Yeast cell, electron tomogram
Yeast cell, electron tomogram image. Yeast cell, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, created using a 3-D electron microscope. This involves firing beams of electrons from many different angles to create slices of data which are reconstructed using computer software. The technique reveals the internal structure of the cell, including the nucleus (large circle at centre), mitochondria and large dark vesicles (blue), light vesicles (pink), microtubules and light vacuoles (green). S. pombe is a single-celled fungus that is studied widely as a model organism for eukaryotic cell division

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of a yeast cell, captured through the lens of an electron tomogram. Using advanced 3-D electron microscopy techniques, beams of electrons were fired from various angles to generate slices of data that were then reconstructed using cutting-edge computer software. The result is a mesmerizing visual representation revealing the internal structure of this Schizosaccharomyces pombe yeast cell. At the heart of this image lies the nucleus, depicted as a prominent large circle at the center. Surrounding it are mitochondria and dark vesicles in striking blue hues, while light vesicles add delicate touches of pink. Green microtubules and light vacuoles complete this vibrant cellular landscape. S. pombe serves as an invaluable model organism for studying eukaryotic cell division due to its single-celled fungal nature. This photograph not only highlights its significance but also offers insights into fundamental biological processes such as molecular biology, cytoskeleton formation, organelle dynamics, and more. The fusion between science and art is evident in this stunning composition—a testament to human ingenuity in unraveling nature's mysteries at microscopic levels. As we delve deeper into understanding these complex organisms on a cellular level, we gain valuable knowledge that can pave the way for advancements in medicine, biotechnology, and our overall comprehension of life itself.
