Coloured TEM of a budding yeast cell
False-colour transmission electron micrograph of a budding yeast cell. Yeast is a kind of single- celled fungus. Budding is a method of asexual reproduction in which a new individual is derived from an outgrowth (or bud) that becomes detached from the body of the parent (here, the lower cell). The large blue structures with slightly fuzzy edges are lipid bodies, consisting of glycerol & fatty acids; they serve as reservoirs for potential chemical energy. The green structure containing a red spot on the right side of the parent cell is the nucleus. Magnification: x5600 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour transmission electron micrograph of a budding yeast cell. Yeast, known as a single-celled fungus, exhibits the fascinating process of asexual reproduction through budding. In this image, we witness the birth of a new individual derived from an outgrowth or bud that detaches from the parent's body. The vibrant blue structures with slightly fuzzy edges are lipid bodies composed of glycerol and fatty acids. These reservoirs serve as potential sources of chemical energy for the yeast cell. Meanwhile, on the right side of the parent cell, we observe a green structure housing a striking red spot - this is none other than the nucleus. With an impressive magnification level of x5600 at 6x4.5cm size, this photograph allows us to delve into the intricate world of fungi at microscopic levels. It provides valuable insights into their unique reproductive strategies and cellular components. Science Photo Library brings forth yet another remarkable scientific image that combines artistry and knowledge in one frame. This print not only appeals to enthusiasts in mycology but also sparks curiosity among those fascinated by nature's hidden wonders.
