LM of live human blood cells

Light micrograph in interference contrast illumination of human blood cells. The majority of the cells seen are red cells, carriers of oxygen throughout the body. The concave surface of the cells may be seen, this assists the cells in passing through narrow capilliaries. Just left of centre is a white cell, used by the body to provide immune responses against foreign cells. Magnification x1000 at 35mm

Blood Blood Cell Mixed Red Blood Cell Cells Light Micrograph

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a mesmerizing view of live human blood cells under a light microscope. The image, captured using interference contrast illumination, reveals the intricate details and vibrant colors of these vital components of our circulatory system. The majority of the cells visible in this snapshot are red blood cells, responsible for transporting oxygen throughout our bodies. Their characteristic concave shape is clearly visible, which enables them to smoothly navigate through narrow capillaries and deliver oxygen to every corner of our tissues. Positioned just left of center is a white blood cell, playing a crucial role in defending our body against foreign invaders. These powerful immune warriors patrol our bloodstream, ready to launch an attack on any potential threat that may compromise our health. With a magnification level set at x1000 and captured on 35mm film, this photograph offers us an up-close glimpse into the microscopic world within us. It serves as a reminder of the complexity and beauty found within even the tiniest elements that make up the human body.
