Keratinocyte skin cells, SEM C013 / 4781
Keratinocyte skin cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of human keratinocyte skin cells. These epithelial cells produce keratin in the skins outermost layers. As they are used to seed new skin growth, they are often cultured to produce skin grafts or for testing cosmetics and drugs. Magnification: x2000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of keratinocyte skin cells, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). These colored epithelial cells play a crucial role in maintaining and protecting our skin. As the outermost layer of the epidermis, they are responsible for producing keratin, a tough protein that provides strength and waterproofing to our skin. The image reveals the remarkable detail of these human keratinocytes, which are commonly used in various applications such as seeding new skin growth or cultivating them for testing cosmetics and drugs. The magnification level of x2000 allows us to appreciate their structure even more when printed at 10 centimeters wide. Through this SEM micrograph by Thomas Deerinck from NCMIR/Science Photo Library, we gain insight into the biological complexity of our own bodies. It reminds us that beneath our superficial appearance lies an intricate network of specialized cells working together to protect and regenerate our skin. While this print holds immense scientific value for research purposes, it also serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between science and art. Its vibrant colors bring life to these microscopic entities, transforming them into mesmerizing works of art that captivate both scientists and enthusiasts alike.
