Human chromosome, SEM C013 / 4999
Human chromosome. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a human chromosome. 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 (grey). The terminal regions are called teleomeres (pink), and play a role in regulating cell ageing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up view of a human chromosome, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the intricate details of this essential component of our genetic makeup. Chromosomes are the packaged form of DNA, containing all the genetic information necessary for cell replication and functioning. In this image, we can observe two identical strands known as chromatids, aligned parallel to each other and connected at the centromere region in grey. The terminal regions, called telomeres and depicted in pink, play a crucial role in regulating cell aging. They act as protective caps that prevent degradation and maintain chromosomal stability over time. This photograph not only highlights the beauty found within our cells but also emphasizes their vital role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. It serves as a reminder of the complexity and precision involved in every aspect of human biology. With its black background providing contrast and depth, this print is an excellent addition to any scientific or medical collection. Its detailed depiction offers viewers an opportunity to marvel at the wonders hidden within us while appreciating the advancements made possible through technologies like SEM imaging.
