F / col TEM of myelocyte in bone marrow

False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a myelocyte from human bone marrow. A myelocyte is one of the series of precursor cells that gives rise to the granulocytes - the group of white blood cells that includes the neutrophils, basophils & eosinophils. One factor in the class- ification of white cell types (the presence of cytoplasmic granules) is illustrated here by the small red circular objects within the pink- coloured cytoplasm. The curved nucleus appears green-yellow. Bone marrow is the site of haemopoiesis, the process by which blood cells are derived. Magnification: x8400 at 6x7cm size

Blood Bone Marrow Granulocyte Haemopoiesis Marrow White Blood Cell

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a myelocyte, a precursor cell found in human bone marrow. The false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals the inner workings of this vital component of our immune system. Myelocytes are responsible for giving rise to granulocytes, which include neutrophils, basophils, and eosinophils - essential white blood cells that play a crucial role in defending our bodies against infections. The image beautifully illustrates one factor used to classify different types of white blood cells: the presence of cytoplasmic granules. These small red circular objects within the pink-colored cytoplasm highlight this characteristic feature. Meanwhile, the curved nucleus appears green-yellow, adding an intriguing contrast to the composition. Bone marrow serves as the site for hematopoiesis - the process through which all blood cells are derived. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into this complex process at an astonishing magnification level of x8400 when printed at 6x7cm size. Immerse yourself in this remarkable visual representation that combines science and artistry. Explore the wonders hidden within our bones and gain a deeper appreciation for how our body's defense mechanisms come to life through haemopoiesis and granulopoiesis processes.
