Computer-enhanced LM of human chromosomes
Chromosomes. Computer-enhanced light micrograph of human chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread-like structures in the cell nucleus that carry genetic information in the form of genes. Each chromosome consists of two strands (chromatids) joined in a region known as the centromere or kinetochore. Chromosomes can construct exact copies of them- selves while a cell is resting between successive divisions. When chromosome division occurs, the centromere splits longitudinally. The nucleus of every human cell contains 46 chromosomes, 23 of maternal and 23 of paternal origin. Three chromosomes are seen in this micrograph. Magnification: x5000 at 6x7cm size

Chromosome Chromosomes Computer Graphic Double Helix Genetics Light Micrograph
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-enhanced light micrograph of human chromosomes, offering a fascinating glimpse into the intricate world of genetics. Chromosomes, these thread-like structures within the cell nucleus, play a crucial role in carrying our genetic information in the form of genes. Each chromosome consists of two strands known as chromatids that are joined at the centromere or kinetochore region. In this mesmerizing image, we witness three chromosomes magnified to an astonishing x5000 at 6x7cm size. The double helix structure is beautifully depicted, highlighting the complexity and elegance of our DNA. It is awe-inspiring to realize that every human cell contains 46 chromosomes - 23 inherited from each parent. What makes this image even more remarkable is its computer-enhanced nature. Through advanced technology and graphic manipulation, Science Photo Library has created a visual masterpiece that allows us to appreciate the intricacies of our genetic blueprint. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork, we are reminded of both our uniqueness and interconnectedness as humans. Our chromosomes hold the key to who we are and what makes us different from one another while also revealing our shared ancestry. This print serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding about ourselves and the world around us. It invites contemplation on life's mysteries encoded within these tiny yet powerful structures – our very essence captured in pixels by Science Photo Library.
