Activated granulocytes, SEM
Activated granulocytes. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of activated granulocyte, or polymorphonucleocytes (PMNs), white blood cells. Granulocytes are part of the immune system and are characterized by the presence of granules in their cytoplasm. They are released from the bone marrow in response to foreign bodies and infection. Magnification x2600 when printed 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases activated granulocytes, also known as polymorphonucleocytes (PMNs), which are white blood cells responsible for defending our bodies against foreign bodies and infections. The image, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals the intricate details of these immune system warriors. The vibrant colors in this false-colored SEM highlight the presence of granules within the cytoplasm of the granulocytes. Released from the bone marrow upon encountering infection or foreign substances, these cells play a crucial role in our body's defense mechanism. Magnified to an astonishing x2600 and printed at 10cm wide, this photograph offers a glimpse into the microscopic world of cellular immunology. Against a pristine white background, these activated granulocytes stand out as they adhere together in a trio formation. With its medical and biological significance, this image serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying microbiology and cell biology. It provides insights into immune responses, immunity mechanisms, and various aspects of immunological research. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this momentous snapshot that beautifully combines scientific precision with artistic flair. This print is not only visually striking but also holds immense educational value for those interested in understanding how our immune system combats infections through the actions of specialized white blood cells like activated granulocytes.
