Liver macrophage cells, SEM
Liver macrophage cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of liver macrophages, also known as Kupffer cells. Macrophages are a type of large white blood cell that recognise foreign particles and old blood cells and phagocytose (engulf and digest) them. The cytoplasmic extensions are used for locomotion within the tissues. Magnification: x3000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of liver macrophage cells, revealing their vibrant colors and fascinating structure. Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) technology has allowed us to explore the hidden realm of these specialized white blood cells known as Kupffer cells. Macrophages play a crucial role in our immune system by identifying foreign particles and old blood cells, engulfing them through phagocytosis, and breaking them down for disposal. The cytoplasmic extensions seen in this image enable these macrophages to move within the tissues with remarkable agility. At a magnification of x3000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this print offers an up-close encounter with the microscopic defenders that safeguard our liver. It serves as a reminder of the complex biological processes occurring within our bodies every day. The false-colored representation adds an artistic touch to this scientific marvel while highlighting different cellular components. This mesmerizing image not only appeals to biology enthusiasts but also sparks curiosity about haematology, immunology, and the wonders of our immune system. As we admire this masterpiece from Science Photo Library, let it serve as a testament to human ingenuity in capturing nature's beauty at its smallest scale.
