Artwork featuring different types of white blood cells that comprise the orchestra of the human immune system, the bodys defence mechanism

Coloured SEM of B-lymphocyte white blood cells
B-lymphocyte. Coloured Scanning Electron Microgr- aph of a group of B-lymphocyte white blood cells. The cell surfaces are covered with tiny ridges and projections called microvilli

SEM of lymphocytes in cortex of thymus
False-colour scanning electron micrograph of the cortex of a thymus. The spheres are T-lymphocytes, white blood cells vital to the cell mediated resp- onse of the immune system

TEM of cluster of P1 bacteriophages

Coloured TEM of a cluster of influenza viruses

Coloured SEM of intestine, showing coeliac disease
Coeliac disease. Coloured Scanning Electron Micro- graph (SEM) of the wall of the small intestine, showing coeliac disease

Lacrimal gland, SEM

SEM of hair on scalp
Hair. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of hairs protruding from the surface of the scalp. Numerous desquamating cells (pink) are concentrically arranged around the base of the hair shaft

Normal female chromosomes
False-colour light micrograph of a normal trypsin/leishman banded female karyotype, the full complement of female chromosomes arranged in numbered homologous pairs

Renal corpuscle of kidney
Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a renal corpuscle in the kidney. The renal corpuscle is formed by the glomerulus (red), the convoluted capillary at centre

False-colour SEM of a taste bud on tongue surface
Taste bud. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of the apical part of a taste bud (pink at centre), known as a gustatory caliculus, on the dorsal surface of the tongue

False-colour SEM of fungiform papillae on tongue

False-colour SEM of dorsal surface of tongue
Tongue surface. False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the dorsal surface of the tongue. It is covered by two types of projections known as filiform and fungiform papillae

False-colour SEM of a papilla vallata
Papilla vallata on tongues surface. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of a papilla vallata (brown), a site of taste buds, partly surrounded by filiform papillae (bottom)

False-colour SEM of ciliated hair cells in the ear
Inner ear. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of bundles of ciliated hair cells (pink) situated in the macula utriculi within the human inner ear

False-colour SEM of hair cells in the inner ear
Inner ear. False-colour scanning electron micrograph of hair cells (yellow) which are part of the Organ of Corti in the inner ear

Coloured SEM of iris epithelial cells of the eye
Iris epithelium. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of epithelial cells (green) lining the underside of the human iris

Blood vessels in eye
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of blood vessels in the choroid of the eye. A branch- ing network of arteries and veins can be seen in this area under the central fovea

Light micrograph of cardiac muscle & fatty disease

False-colour SEM of cells from lens of hu

Cerebral cortex nerve cells

Nerve fibre, SEM
Nerve fibres. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of nerve fibres (brown). A group of nerves such as this is known as a fasciculus

Blood clot crystals, SEM
Blood clot crystals. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of crystals of albumin from a blood clot. Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood plasma

Coloured SEM of red blood cells forming a clot
Blood clot. Coloured Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) showing the formation of a blood clot. Red blood cells (erythrocytes)

Blood clot
False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a blood clot. Red blood cells have been trapped by a web of thin yellow-white strands of fibrin

Red blood cell crenation, SEM
Red blood cell crenation. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of two red blood cells (erythrocytes). The cell on the bottom is normal

Colour TEM of red blood cells, rouleau formation
Red blood cells. Coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of sectioned human red blood cells (erythrocytes) in a rouleau formation

Coloured SEM of red blood cells in blood vessel
Red blood cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of a group of red blood cells (erythrocytes). They are travelling through a large vessel and are just entering a small vessel

SEM of bone marrow

Discovering the hidden wonders of the microscopic world is like entering a realm of infinite fascination. From particle tracks leaving trails of mystery to the mesmerizing bubble chamber photo capturing the decay of a sigma particle, these microscopic photos unveil secrets that lie beyond our naked eye's reach. One remarkable image showcases the first observation of an omega-minus particle, a groundbreaking moment in scientific history. Meanwhile, another snapshot reveals the delicate beauty of a human blastocyst, reminding us of life's miraculous beginnings. Immunofluorescent LM offers us glimpses into intricate networks within our own bodies - neurons and astrocytes intricately woven together like cosmic constellations. And then there are oxytocin hormone crystals, their vibrant colors shining through as if encapsulating love itself. The iris of an eye captured by SEM reminds us that even something as ordinary as our eyes holds extraordinary complexity when seen up close. Similarly, osteoporotic bone under SEM unveils its fragile structure with astonishing detail. Light micrographs bring forth stunning images such as oxytocin crystals glistening like precious gems or spiral spore chains formed by Streptomyces bacteria resembling ethereal works of art. And let us not forget about our retina - a gateway to vision and perception - or nerve cells firing messages at lightning speed throughout our bodies, orchestrating every movement and thought we have. These microscopic photos offer more than just visual delight; they invite us to ponder upon the vastness contained within each minuscule frame. They remind us that sometimes it is in exploring the smallest details that we gain profound insights into ourselves and the world around us.
