Leukocyte Collection (#9)

Blood cells, SEM
Blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a human red blood cell (erythrocyte, red) and a white blood cell (leucocyte, blue). These are the two main cell components of blood

Blood cells in blood vessel, artwork
Blood cells in blood vessel, computer artwork. Red blood cells (erythrocytes, red) distribute oxygen to body tissues, and carry waste carbon dioxide back to the lungs

Small lymphocyte, TEM
Small lymphocyte. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) showing the large central nucleus (brown) of a small lymphocyte (white blood cell)

White blood cell, TEM
White blood cell. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an eosinophil (a type of white blood cell), part of the bodys immune system

Dead neutrophil white blood cell, SEM
Dead neutrophil white blood cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a dead neutrophil (green) surrounded by rod-shaped bacteria (blue). Neutrophils are part of the bodys immune response

Human blood cells, SEM
Human blood cells, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Seen here are platelets (small, roundish) and a neutrophil white blood cell (large, whitish)

Blood cells in a kidney, SEM
Blood cells in a kidney. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through a kidney glomerulus, showing red blood cells (erythrocytes, red) and a white blood cell (leucocyte, blue)

Cell infected with HIV, SEM

"Exploring the Mighty Defenders: Leukocytes and their Battle against Disease" In this captivating collection of images, we delve into the fascinating world of leukocytes, our body's mighty defenders against various diseases. First up, we witness the incredible power of T lymphocytes as they engage in a fierce battle with cancer cells. SEM C001 / 1679 reveals an epic showdown between these two forces. Moving on to another remarkable image, Neutrophil engulfing MRSA (SEM C018 / 8596) showcases the extraordinary ability of neutrophils to devour harmful bacteria such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Next, TEM unveils a close-up view of a human white blood cell bearing HLA antigen. This intricate image highlights the complexity and diversity within our immune system. A burst of color awaits us in Coloured SEM of a white blood cell (lymphocyte), showcasing the vibrant nature that lies within these essential cells. Meanwhile, Basophil white blood cell reminds us that even amidst chaos, there are specialized warriors ready to combat any threat. The delicate balance between red and white blood cells is beautifully captured in Red and white blood cells (SEM). This harmonious coexistence ensures our bodies remain healthy and functional. Micrograph enthusiasts will appreciate Dohle bodies in blood cell micrograph - an intriguing glimpse into abnormal cellular structures that can indicate certain health conditions like infections or inflammation. Shifting gears towards Plasma cells (TEM), we witness their crucial role in producing antibodies to fight off infections effectively. Their unique appearance underlines their significance in maintaining our overall well-being. Acute promyelocytic leukemia takes center stage next with its distinct features showcased through a powerful micrograph. This visual representation sheds light on this specific type of cancer affecting immature myeloid cells. Phagocytosis takes center stage once again as fungal spores become prey for vigilant macrophages in Phagocytosis of fungal spores (SEM).
