Macrophage white blood cells, TEM
Macrophage white blood cells. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through two macrophages located within connective tissue, showing the nuclei and numerous lysosomes (dark spots). Lysosomes contain enzymes for digesting foreign particles. Macrophages are a type of large white blood cell that recognise foreign particles and phagocytose (engulf and digest) them. The slender finger-like extensions of the surface membrane able the macrophage to attach itself to its target. Magnification: x3, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of macrophage white blood cells. Taken using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), the image reveals two macrophages nestled within connective tissue, their nuclei standing out amidst numerous dark lysosomes. Macrophages are vital defenders of our immune system, specializing in recognizing and engulfing foreign particles through a process called phagocytosis. The slender finger-like extensions on their surface membrane allow them to firmly attach themselves to their targets, ensuring efficient defense against harmful invaders. The magnification of this print is an impressive x3,000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, allowing us to appreciate the minute details of these powerful cells. Their presence signifies health and protection within our bodies as they tirelessly work to digest any potential threats. With its monochrome aesthetic and focus on internal cellular structures, this print beautifully captures the essence of biology and cytology. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable complexity that exists within even the tiniest components of our bodies.
