Neutrophil engulfing thrush fungus, SEM
Neutrophil engulfing thrush fungus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a neutrophil white blood cell engulfing and destroying a hypha (round, lower centre) from a thrush (Candida albicans) fungus. This process is called phagocytosis. Neutrophils are the most abundant white blood cell and are part of the bodys immune system. Hyphae are the long, branching filamentous cells of a fungus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible power of our body's immune system in action. In this false-colored scanning electron micrograph, we witness a neutrophil white blood cell diligently engulfing and destroying a hypha from a thrush fungus known as Candida albicans. The process depicted here is called phagocytosis, which serves as one of our primary defense mechanisms against infections. Neutrophils, being the most abundant type of white blood cells, play a crucial role in protecting us from harmful pathogens. The intricate details captured by the scanning electron microscope reveal the round shape of the hypha being attacked by the neutrophil. The branching filamentous cells characteristic of fungi are clearly visible as well. This image not only highlights the biological beauty found within our bodies but also emphasizes how essential it is to have a strong immune system capable of combating various infections. It serves as a reminder that even at such microscopic levels, there exists an ongoing battle between our defenses and invading organisms. As we delve into this mesmerizing photograph, we gain insight into both biology and medicine while appreciating the complexity behind our body's defensive mechanisms. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into nature's wonders through their exceptional collection.
