Set of human chromosomes, SEM
Set of human chromosomes, coloured scanning election micrograph (SEM). Chromosomes are a packaged form of the genetic material deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The DNA condenses into chromosomes during cell replication for ease of division and transport into the new cell. A complete set of chromosomes is known as a karyotype. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes, consisting of 23 chromosome pairs. Magnification: x1850 at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of human chromosomes, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). Chromosomes play a vital role in our genetic makeup as they contain the packaged form of DNA, known as deoxyribonucleic acid. During cell replication, DNA condenses into chromosomes to facilitate easier division and transportation into new cells. A complete set of chromosomes is referred to as a karyotype. In humans, this consists of 46 individual chromosomes, organized into 23 pairs. The intricate details and vibrant colors in this SEM image allow us to marvel at the complexity and beauty of our genetic blueprint. The magnification used for this photograph is an impressive x1850, allowing us to appreciate the fine structure of each chromosome even at just 10 centimeters wide. This image provides valuable insights into biochemistry and genetics by visually capturing the essence of cell division and replication. Power and Syred from Science Photo Library have skillfully captured this remarkable snapshot that not only educates but also inspires awe for the wonders hidden within ourselves. Let it serve as a reminder that every single one of us carries within our cells an extraordinary code that shapes who we are - our unique traits, characteristics, and potential.
