Roundworm germ cells, light micrograph C016 / 9538
Roundworm germ cells. Light micrograph of germ cells from a roundworm (Ascaris sp.), undergoing mitosis (nuclear division). A germ cell is any biological cell that gives rise to the gametes (sex cells) of an organism that reproduces sexually

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of roundworm germ cells. Taken by renowned photographer Pan Xunbin, this light micrograph captures the mesmerizing process of mitosis, or nuclear division, within these tiny organisms. The image reveals a white background that beautifully contrasts with the vibrant nature of these microscopic creatures. Ascaris sp. , commonly known as roundworms, are parasitic invertebrates found in various animal species. In this snapshot, their germ cells can be seen undergoing mitotic division - a crucial step in reproduction for sexually reproducing organisms. Germ cells hold immense significance as they give rise to an organism's gametes or sex cells. These gametes carry genetic information and play a vital role in passing on traits from one generation to another. The study of germ cell biology provides valuable insights into genetics and evolution. With its biochemical and cytological details, this light micrograph offers scientists and researchers a closer look at the complex processes occurring within nematodes like roundworms. It highlights the importance of understanding cellular mechanisms in both animals and humans alike. Pan Xunbin's skillful capture not only sheds light on the fascinating world of roundworms but also emphasizes the beauty hidden within scientific exploration. This awe-inspiring photograph serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, life unfolds with astonishing complexity and precision.
