Lymph node, light micrograph C015 / 6223
Lymph node. Light micrograph of a section through a lymph node. The blue tissue at right 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 a light micrograph of a lymph node, offering us a glimpse into the intricate workings of our immune system. The fibrous outer capsule of the node, depicted in striking blue hues on the right side, serves as its protective shield. Just beneath it lies the subcapsular sinus, portrayed in brilliant white tones. This is where tissue fluid known as lymph drains into, initiating an essential process for our defense against pathogens. Within this microscopic marvel, we witness an army of macrophages diligently at work. These remarkable white blood cells are responsible for removing and digesting cellular debris, bacteria, and other harmful invaders from the lymphatic fluid flowing through these sinuses. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing image, dark purple medullary cords come into view. Within these cords reside B lymphocytes – key players in our body's immune response mechanism. These specialized white blood cells play a crucial role in recognizing and neutralizing foreign substances that may pose a threat to our well-being. This extraordinary visual representation not only highlights the anatomical intricacies of a lymph node but also reminds us of the incredible power and complexity inherent within our own bodies' defense systems.
