Lymph node, light micrograph
Lymph node. Coloured light micrograph of a section through a lymph node. A lymph node filters pathogens from lymph fluid, a watery liquid that surrounds the tissues of the body. The germinal centre of the node (pink) houses B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) and antibodies, which play important roles in the immune system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a magnified view of a lymph node, revealing its intricate structure and vital role in our immune system. The image is colored to enhance the details and features within this microscopic world. A lymph node acts as a powerful filter, purifying the lymph fluid that surrounds our body tissues. This watery liquid carries pathogens that can potentially harm us, making the lymph node an essential defense mechanism against infections and diseases. The pink-hued germinal center within the node serves as a bustling hub for B lymphocytes, specialized white blood cells responsible for producing antibodies. These antibodies are crucial components of our immune system, effectively combating harmful invaders and bolstering our immunity. Through this mesmerizing light micrograph, we gain insight into the complex biology and anatomy at play within our bodies. The false-colored image highlights cell division occurring within nuclei while showcasing various cellular structures such as nodules and follicles. Immunology enthusiasts will appreciate this stunning visual representation of how different cells collaborate harmoniously to protect us from harm. It serves as a reminder of the remarkable intricacies hidden beneath our skin's surface – an awe-inspiring testament to the wonders of life itself.
