Ribosomes, TEM
Ribosomes. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of ribosomes (blue) passing through pores in a cells nuclear membrane (red). The nucleus is at top left and the cytoplasm is at bottom right. Ribosomes consist of two subunits composed of protein and ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA). They are made in the nucleolus (not seen) and pass out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm where they translate mRNA (messenger RNA) into proteins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of ribosomes, as captured by a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image reveals ribosomes, depicted in striking blue hues, traversing through pores within a cell's nuclear membrane, which is highlighted in vibrant red. Positioned at the top left corner is the nucleus, while the bottom right corner represents the cytoplasm. Ribosomes play a crucial role in protein synthesis and are composed of two subunits consisting of proteins and ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA). Although not visible in this image, these vital cellular components are produced within the nucleolus before exiting the nucleus to carry out their essential functions within the cytoplasm. Here, they diligently translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into proteins. The false-colored representation adds an artistic touch to this scientific marvel. It brings attention to various aspects such as genetic processes occurring within cells and highlights key elements like organelles and molecular structures. This photograph serves as a testament to both biology and biochemistry enthusiasts alike. Captured by Science Photo Library using advanced TEM technology, this visually stunning print offers viewers a glimpse into the fascinating realm of cell biology. Its mesmerizing colors and intricate details make it an ideal addition for those passionate about genetics or anyone seeking inspiration from nature's microscopic wonders.
