Liver macrophage cell, SEM
Liver macrophage cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a liver macrophage, also known as a Kupffer cell. Macrophages are a type of large white blood cell that recognise foreign particles and old blood cells and phagocytose (engulf and digest) them. The cytoplasmic extensions are used for locomotion within the tissues. Magnification: x2500 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a liver macrophage cell, as captured by a scanning electron microscope. The vibrant colors in this false-colored image bring to life the vital role these cells play in our immune system's defense mechanism. Known as Kupffer cells, they are large white blood cells that possess the remarkable ability to identify and engulf foreign particles and old blood cells through phagocytosis. The cytoplasmic extensions visible in this image serve as a means for locomotion within the tissues, enabling these macrophages to efficiently carry out their crucial tasks. Magnified at 2500 times its actual size, this print measures 10 centimeters wide when printed. With its striking visual appeal and scientific significance, this photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into the world of haematology and immunology. It serves as a reminder of the complexity and sophistication of our biological systems while highlighting the incredible power of our immune defenses. This stunning piece from Science Photo Library is not only visually captivating but also serves as a valuable educational tool for researchers, students, or anyone with an interest in biology or medical science.
