Mouth cancer cell, SEM C014 / 1459
Mouth cancer cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) cell from a human mouth. The many blebs (lumps) and microvilli (small projections) on the cells surface are typical of cancer cells. Squamous cells are a type of epithelial cell that line body cavities, such as the mouth. Magnification: x2200 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and alarming world of mouth cancer cells. In this coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we are granted a close-up view of a squamous cell carcinoma, a type of cancerous cell found in the human mouth. The surface of these malignant cells is adorned with numerous blebs, or lumps, as well as microvilli, small projections that further emphasize their abnormality. Squamous cells serve as protective linings within body cavities like the oral cavity. However, when they undergo transformation into cancer cells, their appearance becomes drastically altered. This image highlights the devastating effects of this disease on cellular structures. With a magnification factor of x2200 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricacies and complexities present within our own bodies at an incredibly detailed level. It serves as a reminder that diseases such as mouth cancer can manifest themselves in ways that are both visually striking and medically significant. Through its vibrant colours and microscopic perspective, this print not only captures the attention but also raises awareness about the importance of early detection and prevention strategies for oral cancers. It stands as a testament to the power of scientific imaging techniques in unraveling the mysteries hidden within our own biology while reminding us to prioritize our health through regular check-ups and screenings.
