Rough endoplasmic reticulum, TEM

Rough endoplasmic reticulum, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This section shows the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER, folds, centre), a membranous structure that occurs in cells. The cell nucleus is partially seen at left. Rough ER has ribosomes on its surface where protein synthesis occurs. The instructions for the protein synthesis come from the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the nucleus. The rounded structures may be vesicles that have broken off the rough ER to transport the proteins elsewhere in the cell. That would mean that this is the Golgi apparatus. Magnification: x20, 000 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in a cell. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph, we can observe the folds and membranes that make up this vital organelle. The rough ER is distinguished by the presence of ribosomes on its surface, where protein synthesis takes place. The DNA within the cell nucleus provides instructions for protein synthesis, which are then carried out by the ribosomes on the rough ER. As proteins are synthesized, they may be transported to other parts of the cell through vesicles that have broken off from the rough ER. These rounded structures visible in the image could potentially be these transport vesicles destined for another crucial cellular component –the Golgi apparatus. With a magnification of x20,000 when printed at 10cm wide, this photograph offers an extraordinary glimpse into cellular biology and physiology. It highlights not only how cells function but also emphasizes their complexity and organization at a microscopic level. This stunning image was captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), allowing us to explore cross-sections of cells with incredible detail. Provided by Science Photo Library, it serves as a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike who seek to delve deeper into cytology, histology, and biological sciences as a whole.
