Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Human chromosomes, SEM C013 / 5002
Human chromosomes. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of human chromosomes prepared with the harlequin staining technique. Chromosomes are a packaged form of a cells genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The DNA condenses into chromosomes during cell replication. Each chromosome consists of two identical strands (chromatids), aligned parallel to each other and joined at an area called the centromere. The staining shows the formation sequence, with the second chromatid (white) of each pair formed as a direct copy of the first chromatid (purple). Structural changes are also seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of human chromosomes, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) using the harlequin staining technique. The image reveals the packaged form of a cell's genetic material, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which condenses into chromosomes during cell replication. Each chromosome in this mesmerizing display consists of two identical strands called chromatids, aligned parallel to each other and joined at an area known as the centromere. The stunning false coloration highlights the formation sequence, with the second chromatid appearing white as it is formed as a direct copy of its purple counterpart. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these chromosomes hold immense significance in understanding our genetic makeup. They serve as carriers of vital information that determines various aspects of our biology and health. Structural changes within these chromosomes are also visible in this image, providing valuable insights into cellular processes and genetic mutations. The black background enhances the visual impact while emphasizing the vibrant colors that represent different components within these chromosomal structures. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic expression, showcasing how even microscopic elements can possess astonishing beauty when observed through advanced imaging techniques like SEM.
