Human chromosomes, SEMs C013 / 4989
Human chromosomes. Collage of coloured scanning electron micrographs (SEMs) of human chromosomes. Chromosomes are a packaged form of a cells genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The DNA condenses into chromosomes during cell replication. Each chromosome consists of two identical strands (chromatids), aligned parallel to each other and joined at an area called a centromere (some highlighted here). The terminal regions (teleomeres) are also highlighted for some of these chromosomes. The XY sex chromosomes are among the images at lower right. A cell is at bottom left

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of human chromosomes, captured through scanning electron micrographs (SEMs). The collage presents a vivid array of colored images, each representing a different chromosome. Chromosomes are essential components that package an organism's genetic material, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), during cell replication. Each chromosome is composed of two identical strands called chromatids, aligned parallel to one another and connected at a central region known as the centromere. In this collage, some centromeres are highlighted to emphasize their significance. Additionally, certain terminal regions called telomeres are also emphasized in select chromosomes. Among these fascinating images lies the XY sex chromosomes located in the lower right corner. These chromosomes determine an individual's biological sex - male or female. A single cell can be observed in the bottom left corner, emphasizing its role as the fundamental unit of life. The false coloring applied to these SEMs adds vibrancy and clarity to highlight specific features for scientific analysis and understanding. This print provides valuable insights into cellular biology and genetics while showcasing both healthy and normal chromosomal structures. Captured by SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY using advanced scanning electron microscope technology, this image serves as a remarkable testament to the complexity and elegance found within our own bodies' genetic makeup.
