Inside of an imaginary cell
Inside a cell. Panoramic view from inside an imaginary cell. The densely folded endoplasmic reticulum, a membrane that divides the cell into compartments, is shown in yellow and red. The nucleus, covered with nuclear pores, can be seen at lower right through a tear in the membrane. The violet spheres are secretory vesicles produced by the golgi apparatus (violet, centre). These vesicles carry substances such as enzymes and hormones out of the cell. A mitochondrion (with red inner membranes) is seen at centre right

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Inside of an Imaginary Cell" takes us on a mesmerizing journey into the intricate world of cellular biology. The panoramic view from within this imaginary cell reveals a stunning landscape filled with vibrant colors and fascinating structures. At the forefront, we are greeted by the densely folded endoplasmic reticulum, depicted in striking shades of yellow and red. This intricate membrane acts as a partition, dividing the cell into distinct compartments, each with its own specialized function. Through a tear in this remarkable membrane, our gaze is drawn to the lower right corner where we catch sight of the nucleus. Covered in nuclear pores, it stands as the command center of this bustling cellular universe. Intriguing violet spheres known as secretory vesicles dominate the central part of this image. These tiny bubbles originate from the golgi apparatus and serve as transporters for essential substances such as enzymes and hormones out of the cell. Finally, at center-right, we encounter a magnificent mitochondrion adorned with vivid red inner membranes. This powerhouse organelle plays a crucial role in energy production within cells. The artistry behind this scientific masterpiece not only showcases its aesthetic appeal but also highlights key elements that define animal cells' structure and functionality. Through this artwork's lens, we gain insight into microcosmic wonders that shape life itself – an awe-inspiring testament to nature's brilliance captured by Science Photo Library.
