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). Red blood cells are carriers of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Their biconcave surface provides maximum surface area for the exchange of gases. There are a number of different types of white blood cell, all of which are part of the immune system. Magnification x4500 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of blood cells within a kidney. Through the lens of a transmission electron microscope (TEM), we are granted a glimpse into the remarkable complexity and beauty that exists within our bodies. The image reveals an array of red blood cells, or erythrocytes, distinguished by their vibrant crimson hue. These vital carriers play a crucial role in transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout our circulatory system. Their unique biconcave shape maximizes surface area, facilitating efficient gas exchange. Amidst this sea of red, we also encounter a solitary white blood cell, or leucocyte, depicted in striking blue tones. As guardians of our immune system, these diverse warriors defend against harmful pathogens and foreign invaders that threaten our well-being. With its magnification set at x4500 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricacies that lie hidden beneath the surface. It serves as a reminder of the incredible complexity and harmony found within our own bodies – an awe-inspiring testament to the wonders of biology. This stunning visual representation transcends mere scientific documentation; it is an artistic celebration of life's microscopic marvels.
