Human epithelial cells
Human epithelial cells. Fluorescent light micrograph of human epithelial cells in culture. The nuclei, which contain the cells genetic information DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), have been dyed blue. Actin filaments, part of the cells cytoskeleton, are dyed green. The cytoskeleton is responsible for intracellular transport, cell structure and motility. Mitochondria, which produce energy for the cell, have been dyed orange. Epithelial cells are found lining every surface on the human body

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of human epithelial cells in culture. Under the fluorescent light microscope, these cells reveal their vibrant colors and distinct structures. The blue-stained nuclei hold the cell's genetic information, DNA, which plays a crucial role in determining our unique characteristics. The green-dyed actin filaments highlight the cytoskeleton of these cells, responsible for maintaining their shape, aiding in intracellular transport, and enabling cellular motility. It is fascinating to witness how this delicate network supports various essential functions within each cell. In striking orange hues, we observe the mitochondria - tiny powerhouses that produce energy for these epithelial cells. Their presence signifies the vital role they play in sustaining cellular activities and ensuring proper functioning throughout our bodies. Epithelial cells are found lining every surface of our body – from our skin to internal organs – acting as a protective barrier against external elements while facilitating nutrient absorption and waste removal. This image serves as a reminder of both their ubiquity and significance in maintaining overall health. Through this mesmerizing micrograph captured by Science Photo Library, we gain an appreciation for the complexity and elegance inherent within even the tiniest components of our biological makeup.
