Eosinophil white blood cell, TEM C014 / 1439
Eosinophil white blood cell. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through an eosinophil. Eosinophils, like all white blood cells, are part of the bodys immune system. They are involved in the bodys allergic response and help to defend the body from invading parasites. The cells cytoplasm contains many characteristic granules (pink) that contain enzymes used to destroy invading organisms. Magnification: x5000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an eosinophil white blood cell, captured through a transmission electron microscope. Eosinophils are an essential component of our immune system, playing a crucial role in defending our bodies against invading parasites and participating in allergic responses. The image reveals the unique characteristics of this specialized cell. The cytoplasm is filled with distinctive granules that appear pink, containing powerful enzymes used to combat foreign organisms. With a magnification of x5000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minute detail becomes visible, highlighting the complexity and beauty within our own biology. The single eosinophil stands out against a pristine white background, emphasizing its significance as part of our defense mechanism. Its nucleus can be observed amidst the granules-filled cytoplasm, representing the core control center for cellular activities. This photograph not only provides valuable insights into human anatomy but also serves as a reminder of the remarkable capabilities possessed by these microscopic entities. It symbolizes resilience and protection while inviting us to marvel at nature's intricacies. Captured by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, this image represents years of scientific exploration and dedication to understanding how our immune system functions on such minuscule scales. It serves as both an educational tool for biologists and immunologists alike and as a testament to the wonders hidden within each one of us.
