Cell organelles, SEM
Cell organelles. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through a cell from a kidney proximal tubule. The cell nucleus (partially seen at top left) contains the cells genetic information in the form of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Here the DNA is complexed with proteins to form chromatin (light brown structures). Surrounding the nucleus are mitochondria (orange), which supply the cell with energy. The strands seen between mitochondria are endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the site of lipid synthesis and the production of membrane-bound proteins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of cell organelles, revealing the hidden beauty within our bodies. Taken using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), this false-colored image provides a stunning glimpse into the inner workings of a kidney proximal tubule cell. At first glance, we are drawn to the partially visible nucleus located in the top left corner. This vital control center contains DNA, our genetic blueprint for life. The DNA is intricately intertwined with proteins, forming chromatin structures that appear as light brown strands. Surrounding the nucleus like vibrant orange jewels are mitochondria, responsible for supplying energy to the cell. These powerhouses play a crucial role in maintaining cellular functions and ensuring its survival. The delicate strands observed between mitochondria represent endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which serves as both a site for lipid synthesis and production of membrane-bound proteins. It acts as an interconnected network throughout the cytoplasm, facilitating essential processes within the cell. This mesmerizing image not only highlights these specific organelles but also emphasizes their importance in sustaining life at a microscopic level. Through this photograph by Science Photo Library, we gain an appreciation for the complexity and beauty found within every single one of our cells.
