Crenated red blood cells, SEM C016 / 9029
Crenated red blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through an arteriole (small blood vessel), showing crenated red blood cells inside. Crenation is caused by dehydration, which distorts the cell. Magnification: x1650 when printed to centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Steve Gschmeissner from the Science Photo Library, showcases the intricate world of biology and anatomy. The image depicts a section through an arteriole, a small blood vessel within the human body. Inside this vessel, we witness an abnormality - crenated red blood cells. The vibrant colors in this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) bring to life the damaged erythrocytes that have undergone crenation due to dehydration. Crenation is a process that distorts these vital cells, causing them to take on irregular shapes and compromising their functionality. At a magnification of x1650 when printed to centimeters wide, every detail becomes apparent. This internal view reveals the consequences of unhealthy conditions within our bodies. The presence of crenated red blood cells signifies potential issues with hydration levels or underlying medical conditions affecting the vascular system. As we delve into this microscopic realm, it serves as a reminder of how delicate and intricate our biological makeup truly is. Through SEM technology and skilled photography techniques, scientists like Gschmeissner shed light on these unseen aspects of our physiology. This mesmerizing print not only highlights scientific discoveries but also sparks curiosity about our own health and well-being. It reminds us that even at such minuscule scales, abnormalities can have significant impacts on our overall functioning – urging us to prioritize self-care and maintain balance within our bodies for optimal health.
