MDCK cells, inverted light micrograph C017 / 7647
MDCK cells. Differential interference contrast inverted light micrograph of Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells. This is a kidney epithelial cell line from a cocker spaniel. The cells mimic simple epithelial cells such as those found in the gut and in kidney tubules. Magnification: x3, 400 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases MDCK cells, specifically Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells, captured through an inverted light micrograph. These kidney epithelial cell lines are derived from a cocker spaniel and closely resemble simple epithelial cells found in the gut and kidney tubules. The intricate details of these cells can be observed thanks to the differential interference contrast technique used in this image. At a magnification of x3,400 when printed at 10 centimeters tall, this photograph offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of cell biology. The nuclei of these canine kidney epithelial cells stand out prominently against their surrounding cytoplasmic structures, highlighting their importance in cellular function. The use of an inverted microscope allows for unique perspectives on biological samples by illuminating them from below rather than above. This technique provides researchers with valuable insights into the behavior and characteristics of various cell types. Sinclair Stammers has skillfully captured the beauty and complexity present within these MDCK cells. This image serves as a reminder that even at microscopic levels, life is teeming with diversity and wonder. Whether it's for educational purposes or personal appreciation of nature's intricacies, this print is sure to captivate anyone interested in cytology, cell culture, or simply marveling at the wonders hidden within our own bodies.
