Intestinal gland cell, TEM C014 / 1442
Intestinal gland cell. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through an undifferentiated cell from the intestinal tract, showing extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER, yellow) and mitochondria (brown). Undifferentiated cells like this serve as replacements for cell types both in the glands and villi of the intestine. Magnification: x4000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of an intestinal gland cell, captured through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The undifferentiated cell, found in the intestinal tract, plays a crucial role as a replacement for various cell types within both the glands and villi of the intestine. The image reveals a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of this single biological unit. The extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER), depicted in yellow, highlights its vital function in protein synthesis and transportation within the cell. Alongside it, numerous mitochondria are visible in shades of brown, emphasizing their pivotal role in energy production. At a magnification of x4000 when printed 10 centimeters wide, this photograph captures every minute detail with remarkable clarity. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate the complexity and beauty inherent within our own bodies at a microscopic level. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies profound scientific significance. Researchers studying cellular biology and cytology can utilize this image to gain insights into how these undifferentiated cells contribute to maintaining gastrointestinal health. Furthermore, it provides valuable information about tight junctions and interdigitations present within intestines—essential components for proper functioning. Photographed by Steve Gschmeissner from Science Photo Library, this stunning visual representation serves as both an educational tool and an artistic testament to the wonders hidden beneath our skin's surface.
