Lymph node, light micrograph C015 / 6222
Lymph node. Light micrograph of a section through a lymph node. The blue tissue at left is the fibrous outer capsule of the node. Beneath it is the subcapsular sinus (white). Tissue fluid (lymph) drains into the sinuses, where white blood cells called macrophages remove and digest cellular debris, bacteria and other pathogens from the fluid. Medullary cords (dark purple) contain B lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) which are part of the bodys immune system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a lymph node, as seen under a light microscope. The fibrous outer capsule of the node is depicted in a striking blue hue on the left side of the image. Just beneath it lies the subcapsular sinus, portrayed in white. This sinus serves as a vital pathway for tissue fluid, also known as lymph, to drain into. Within these sinuses, an army of white blood cells called macrophages diligently work to remove and digest any cellular debris, bacteria, or other harmful pathogens present in the fluid. The darker purple areas within the lymph node are referred to as medullary cords. These cords house B lymphocytes - an essential component of our body's immune system. These specialized white blood cells play a crucial role in defending against infections and diseases. This remarkable micrograph provides us with an up-close look at one of our body's defense mechanisms – our lymph nodes – which serve as key players in maintaining our overall health and well-being. It reminds us just how intricately designed and interconnected our biological systems truly are.
