Birds red blood cells
Birds red blood cells. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the red blood cells, also known as erythrocytes, of an unidentified bird. These cells are responsible for the transportation of oxygen & contain the red pigment haemoglobin. These avian (bird) erythrocytes, like those of other non-mammalian vertebrates, are oval in shape and contain a nucleus (black). Magnification: x7, 500 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of birds' red blood cells. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are granted a glimpse into the microscopic world of an unidentified bird's erythrocytes, or red blood cells. These remarkable cells play a vital role in oxygen transportation throughout the avian body and are distinguished by their rich red pigment known as haemoglobin. What sets these avian erythrocytes apart is their unique oval shape, which is characteristic of non-mammalian vertebrates. As we delve deeper into the image, we can observe a distinct black nucleus within each cell, emphasizing its nucleated nature. The magnification level employed for capturing this stunning image was an impressive x7,500 at a 6x7cm size. This high-resolution view allows us to appreciate every minute detail present in these tiny structures that sustain life within our feathered friends. As we marvel at this photograph's scientific significance, it serves as a reminder of the vast complexity hidden within even the smallest components of living organisms. Through images like these, Science Photo Library continues to inspire curiosity and awe for the wonders that lie beyond what meets the naked eye.
