Intestinal gland cell, TEM C014 / 1441
Intestinal gland cell. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through an undifferentiated cell from the intestinal tract, showing extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER, orange) and mitochondria (purple). Undifferentiated cells like this serve as replacements for cell types both in the glands and villi of the intestine. Magnification: x4000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an intestinal gland cell, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image reveals a section through an undifferentiated cell found in the intestinal tract. The vibrant orange structures represent the extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), while the purple structures depict mitochondria. Undifferentiated cells like this play a crucial role as replacements for various cell types within both the glands and villi of the intestine. This microscopic view offers valuable insights into their biological function and anatomical features. With a magnification of x4000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, every minuscule detail is brought to life. The nucleus, located at the center of this cellular landscape, remains unseen but undoubtedly orchestrates essential cellular processes. Additionally, tight junctions and interdigitations can be observed throughout, highlighting how these cells are intricately connected within the gastrointestinal tract. Photographer Steve Gschmeissner's expertise shines through in capturing this stunning image from Science Photo Library. It serves as a testament to his mastery in showcasing scientific subjects with artistic flair. This mesmerizing print not only appeals to those fascinated by biology and anatomy but also provides researchers with invaluable visual information for further study in cytology and histology fields related to bowel health and function.
