Fine Art Prints From Science Photo Library
Coloured LM of blood in sickle cell anaemia
Sickle cell anaemia. Coloured light micrograph of a blood smear showing distorted red blood cells in sickle cell anaemia (drepanocytosis). Sickle cell anaemia is an inherited blood disease, so-called because red blood cells have abnormal haemoglobin (oxygen-carrying pigment) that distorts cells into a sickle shape. Here, normal red blood cells (rounded) contrast with sickle-shaped cells (at centre). Sickle cells are fragile and easily destroyed in the bloodstream. Sickle cell anaemia occurs largely in African people, and can be fatal in childhood. No cure is yet known. Magnification: x800 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of blood affected by sickle cell anaemia. The coloured light micrograph showcases distorted red blood cells, characteristic of this inherited blood disease. Sickle cell anaemia gets its name from the abnormal haemoglobin present in red blood cells, which causes them to take on a sickle shape instead of their usual rounded form. In this image, normal red blood cells stand in stark contrast to the sickle-shaped cells at the center. These fragile and easily destroyed sickle cells pose significant challenges within the bloodstream. Sadly, this condition primarily affects African individuals and can prove fatal during childhood. Despite extensive research efforts, no cure for sickle cell anaemia has been discovered yet. The magnification level of x800 allows us to appreciate the intricacies of these distorted blood cells at a size of 6x4.5cm. This photograph serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against diseases like sickle cell anaemia and highlights the importance of medical advancements in understanding and treating such conditions. Science Photo Library presents this visually striking image that encompasses various themes including disease, medicine, disorder, health care, and medical research. It offers valuable insights into one aspect of human biology while emphasizing the need for continued scientific exploration in search of potential solutions for those affected by illnesses like sickle cell anaemia.
