Lymphocyte white blood cell, TEM
Lymphocyte white blood cell. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through lymphocyte, showing the nucleus (large, round, centre), endoplasmic reticulum (ER, dark lines) and multiple mitochondria (oval). Lymphocytes are white blood cells. They are essential cells of the immune defence system that either attack foreign antigens directly or indirectly by the production of antibodies. Magnification: x10, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate structure of a lymphocyte white blood cell. Taken using a transmission electron microscope, this image reveals the various components that make up this essential cell of our immune defense system. At a magnification of x10,000 when printed 10 centimeters wide, every detail is brought to life. In the center of the image, we see the large and round nucleus, which serves as the control center for cellular activities. Surrounding it are dark lines representing the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), responsible for protein synthesis and transport within the cell. The oval shapes scattered throughout are multiple mitochondria, vital organelles that generate energy to power cellular functions. Lymphocytes play a crucial role in our immune response by directly attacking foreign antigens or producing antibodies indirectly. This microscopic view offers us an awe-inspiring glimpse into their complex world. With its monochrome aesthetic and detailed composition, this photograph beautifully captures both artistry and scientific precision. It serves as a reminder of how biology intertwines with histology and cytology to create living organisms capable of defending against harmful invaders.
