Phagocytosis of fungal spores, SEM
Phagocytosis of a fungus spore. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a neutrophil (blue) phagocytosing (engulfing and destroying) spores from the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus (red). Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell and are part of the bodys immune system. Aspergillus fumigatus is common in dust, soil, and on plants and plant products such as hay or grain. It can cause a number of different diseases in humans, including allergic disorder, respiratory infection and invasive disease

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense battle between a neutrophil and fungal spores. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), the neutrophil, represented in striking blue, is seen engulfing and destroying red spores from the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus. Neutrophils are vital components of our body's immune system, serving as its first line of defense against pathogens. Aspergillus fumigatus is a common fungus found in dust, soil, plants, and plant products like hay or grain. While seemingly harmless to most individuals, it can cause various diseases ranging from allergic disorders to respiratory infections and invasive diseases when it infects humans. The image showcases the incredible power of phagocytosis exhibited by neutrophils. These white blood cells are highly abundant within our bodies and play a crucial role in combating infections. By engulfing and digesting foreign invaders like these fungal spores, neutrophils contribute significantly to our immune response. This photograph not only highlights the intricate beauty of cellular biology but also provides valuable insights into immunology and medical research. It serves as a reminder of how our immune system works tirelessly to protect us from harmful pathogens that surround us daily.
