HeLa cells, light micrograph C017 / 8299
HeLa cells, multiphoton fluorescence micrograph (MFM). The cell nuclei, which contain the cells genetic information, are purple. Microtubules are blue and actin microfilaments are red

HeLa cells, light micrograph C017 / 8298
HeLa cells, multiphoton fluorescence micrograph (MFM). The cell nuclei, which contain the cells genetic information, are blue. Golgi bodies, which modify and package proteins, are orange

Mitosis, light micrograph
Mitosis. Confocal light micrograph of the stages of mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cell division). During mitosis the nuclear envelope disintegrates (3rd image) and the chromosomes (blue)

Dividing cells. Computer artwork of a spiral of cells during mitosis (nuclear division). During mitosis two daughter nuclei are formed from one parent nucleus

HeLa cell, SEM C014 / 0371
HeLa cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a HeLa cell (centre) grown in a 3D matrix (background). HeLa cells are a continuously cultured cell line of immortal human cancer cells

HeLa cells, SEM C014 / 0366
HeLa cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of HeLa cells (round) grown in a 3D matrix (background). HeLa cells are a continuously cultured cell line of immortal human cancer cells

HeLa cells, SEM C014 / 0369
HeLa cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of HeLa cells (round) grown in a 3D matrix (background). HeLa cells are a continuously cultured cell line of immortal human cancer cells

HeLa cells, SEM C017 / 8305
HeLa cells, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The cells have just replicated. HeLa cells were the first continuously cultured cell line

HeLa cell dying, SEM C017 / 8304
HeLa cell dying, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The cell in the foreground is undergoing apoptosis, or programmed cell death. Apoptosis occurs when a cell becomes old or damaged

HeLa cells, light micrograph C013 / 4774
HeLa cells. Multi-photon fluorescence light micrograph of a group of cultured HeLa cells, showing the cell nuclei, which contain the cells genetic information (DNA, red)

HeLa cells, light micrograph C013 / 4773
HeLa cells. Multi-photon fluorescence light micrograph of a group of cultured HeLa cells, showing the cell nuclei, which contain the cells genetic information (DNA, blue), and microtubules (pink)

Abnormal mitosis
Mitosis. Fluorescence micrograph of a cell during abnormal anaphase of mitosis (nuclear division). During mitosis two daughter nuclei are formed from one parent nucleus

Mitosis. Fluorescence micrograph of a cell during prometaphase of mitosis (nuclear division). During mitosis two daughter nuclei are formed from one parent nucleus

DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid. Conceptual artwork of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) spelt out with fluoresence micrographs of anaphase stage cells. Anaphase is a stage of mitosis (nuclear division)

"HeLa Cells: A Window into Cellular Life and Death" The captivating world of HeLa cells, as revealed through light and scanning electron micrographs, offers a glimpse into the intricate processes of mitosis and cell division. In the light micrograph C017 / 8299, we witness the vibrant beauty of HeLa cells in their natural state. The adjacent image, C017 / 8298, showcases these dividing cells in action during mitosis. Moving on to scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the SEM images C014 / 0371, C014 / 0366, C014 / 0369, and C017 / 8305 provide an astonishingly detailed view of HeLa cells' structural complexity. These images highlight the delicate intricacies that make up these remarkable cellular entities. However, not all is eternal within this microscopic realm. As depicted in SEM image C017 / 8304, we observe a poignant moment where a HeLa cell reaches its demise—a reminder that life's cycle encompasses both creation and decay. Returning to light microscopy with images C013 / 4774 and C013/4773 showcasing more instances of mitosis among HeLa cells—these snapshots serve as reminders that life perpetually moves forward. Mitotic events are crucial for growth and regeneration within our bodies. HeLa cells have revolutionized medical research since their discovery in Henrietta Lacks' cervical tumor back in the early '50s. Their unique ability to replicate indefinitely has paved new avenues for scientific breakthroughs across various disciplines. Exploring these mesmerizing glimpses into the world of HeLa cells reveals not only their stunning visual appeal but also sheds light on fundamental biological processes such as mitosis and cellular death. These tiny powerhouses continue to shape our understanding of life at its most basic level while leaving us awestruck by their resilience and adaptability.
