White blood cell, TEM
White blood cell. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an eosinophil (a type of white blood cell), part of the bodys immune system. The cells nucleus (dark purple) contains chromatin (light purple). In the cells cytoplasm (blue) are many enzyme-containing granules (green), used to destroy invading organisms. Eosinophils are found in many connective tissues. They are involved in the bodys allergic response and help to defend the body from invading parasites. Magnification: x8000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a white blood cell known as an eosinophil, captured through the lens of a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The vibrant colors highlight the intricate details of this vital component of our immune system. The dark purple nucleus contains chromatin, while the blue cytoplasm is filled with enzyme-containing granules that play a crucial role in destroying invading organisms. Eosinophils are primarily found in connective tissues and serve multiple functions within our bodies. Not only do they contribute to our body's defense against parasites, but they also actively participate in allergic responses. Their ability to engulf and eliminate foreign substances makes them essential guardians of our well-being. At a magnification level of x8000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this image offers us a glimpse into the microscopic world that exists within us. It reminds us of the complexity and beauty present in even the smallest components of life. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this stunning representation of cellular biology, providing an opportunity for both scientists and enthusiasts alike to appreciate the wonders hidden beneath our skin.
