Lymphocyte white blood cell, SEM
Lymphocyte white blood cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a lymphocyte, showing the cell nucleus (upper centre) and cytosol (blue). Lymphocytes are involved in the immune systems defence mechanisms, lymph system, and involved in antibody production. Magnification: x6000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steve Gschmeisner showcases the intricate beauty of a lymphocyte white blood cell. Through the lens of a scanning electron microscope (SEM), we are granted a mesmerizing glimpse into the internal world of this vital component of our immune system. The vibrant colors in this false-colored image highlight different aspects of the lymphocyte's structure. The upper center reveals its nucleus, while the surrounding blue cytosol represents its cellular fluid. This single lymphocyte appears healthy and intact, ready to fulfill its crucial role in defending our bodies against harmful invaders. Lymphocytes play an essential part in our immune system's defense mechanisms, acting as guardians within our lymphatic system. They are responsible for producing antibodies that help identify and neutralize foreign substances or abnormal cells that may pose a threat to our well-being. With a magnification level of x6000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the remarkable details hidden within these microscopic entities. It serves as a reminder of both the complexity and elegance found within biological systems. Steve Gschmeisner's skillful capture not only provides valuable insights into cell biology but also sparks curiosity about the wonders occurring inside our own bodies every day.
