T lymphocytes and cancer cell, SEM C001 / 1679
T lymphocytes and cancer cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of T lymphocyte cells (green) attached to a cancer cell. T lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that recognise a specific site (antigen) on the surface of cancer cells or pathogens and bind to it. Some T lymphocytes then signal for other immune system cells to eliminate the cell. The genetic changes that cause a cell to become cancerous lead to the presentation of tumour antigens on the cells surface. Magnification: x2300 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "T lymphocytes and cancer cell" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of cellular interactions. In this colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we witness T lymphocyte cells (green) firmly attached to a cancer cell, showcasing the remarkable power of our immune system in combating malignancy. T lymphocytes, also known as T cells, are a vital component of our white blood cells. They possess the extraordinary ability to recognize specific antigens on the surface of cancerous cells or pathogens and bind to them. Once bound, these T lymphocytes signal other immune system cells to eliminate the targeted cell effectively. The genetic alterations that trigger cellular transformation into cancer result in tumor antigens being presented on their surfaces. This image magnified at x2300 when printed at 10 centimeters wide allows us to appreciate the minute details and complexity involved in this process. With its fusion of medicine, immunology, oncology, cytology, and cell biology disciplines captured through SEM technology by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library; this photograph serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and medical professionals alike. It sheds light on how our immune response works against malignant growths while providing insights into potential therapeutic approaches aimed at harnessing T lymphocyte's potent anti-cancer properties.
