Coloured LM of a follicle of a human lymph node

Lymphoid follicle. Coloured light micrograph (LM) of a section through a follicle of a human lymph node. The follicle contains B-cells and antibodies, parts of the immune system, within its germinal centre (brown). B-cells, or B- lymphocytes, are white blood cells which produce antibodies against foreign microorganisms. The follicle is surrounded by cortical tissue (at far left). Lymph nodes filter harmful organisms from the tissue fluid that drains into them through the lymphatic vessels. CD20 stained cells. Magnification: x100 at 35mm size

Follicle Immune Lymph Lymph Node Lymphatic Lymphatic System Node Stain System Light Micrograph

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured light micrograph of a follicle found in a human lymph node. The intricate details captured in this image highlight the complex anatomy and functioning of our immune system. The focal point of the image is the germinal centre, depicted in shades of brown, which houses B-cells and antibodies. These B-lymphocytes are essential white blood cells responsible for producing antibodies that combat foreign microorganisms invading our body. Surrounding the follicle is cortical tissue visible on the far left side. Lymph nodes play a crucial role in filtering harmful organisms from the tissue fluid that drains into them through lymphatic vessels. This process ensures our immune system can effectively neutralize any potential threats to our well-being. CD20 stained cells within this lymph node are also evident, adding another layer of scientific insight to this visual representation. With a magnification level of x100 at 35mm size, every minute detail has been meticulously captured by Science Photo Library. This extraordinary photograph not only serves as an educational tool but also sparks curiosity about the wonders hidden within our own bodies. It reminds us of the incredible complexity and resilience present within our immune system, constantly working to protect us from harm's way.
