SEM of lymphocytes in cortex of thymus

False-colour scanning electron micrograph of the cortex of a thymus. The spheres are T-lymphocytes, white blood cells vital to the cell mediated resp- onse of the immune system. Their functions include tracking down & destroying antigens directly and summoning & directing the scavenging macrophages. The thymus is arranged in two distinct zones; the outer cortex and an inner medulla. Progenitor T cells are thought to arise in the bone marrow and seed the outer cortex of the thymus. The cells proliferate giving rise to immature T cells which become immunocompetent as they migrate from cortex to medulla. Magnification: x1000 at 6x7cm size

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print

Discover the intricacies of the immune system with our captivating Media Storehouse Poster Prints. This particular print showcases a False-colour Scanning Electron Micrograph of the cortex of a thymus, home to T-lymphocytes. Witness the spherical shapes of these white blood cells, crucial players in cell-mediated responses, as they populate the cortex in stunning detail. Bring the wonders of science into your workspace or home with our high-quality, vibrant poster prints.

A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.

Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 51.4cm (16.5" x 20.2")

Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")

These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the cortex of a thymus, as seen through a false-color scanning electron microscope. The image reveals an array of spherical structures, each representing a T-lymphocyte - essential white blood cells that play a crucial role in the cell-mediated response of our immune system. These remarkable cells possess multifaceted functions, including both direct destruction of antigens and summoning and guiding scavenging macrophages. The thymus itself is divided into two distinct zones: the outer cortex and the inner medulla. Progenitor T cells are believed to originate in the bone marrow before migrating to seed the outer cortex. As they proliferate within this region, immature T cells gradually become immunocompetent while transitioning from cortex to medulla. At a magnification level of x1000 on a 6x7cm scale, this microscopic photograph offers us an unprecedented glimpse into one aspect of human anatomy rarely seen by the naked eye. It serves as a reminder that even at such minuscule scales, there exists immense complexity within our bodies' defense mechanisms. Captured by Science Photo Library, renowned for their expertise in scientific imagery, this print not only celebrates scientific discovery but also highlights the awe-inspiring intricacies present within our own immune systems – an ever-evolving battleground against disease and infection.
