Urine infection, SEM
Urine infection. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), showing epithelial cells (centre) and red blood cells (red) present in a urine sample taken from someone with a urinary tract infection (UTI). In urinary tract conditions such as infections, inflammation and malignancies, more epithelial cells are present. A bladder infection may result in large numbers of transitional epithelial cells in urine sediment, as seen here. Magnification: x5000 when printed to centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library provides a vivid glimpse into the microscopic world of urine infections. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) showcases the intricate details of a urine sample taken from an individual suffering from a urinary tract infection (UTI). In this image, we can observe the presence of both epithelial cells and red blood cells, represented in vibrant shades of red. The abundance of epithelial cells indicates an abnormality within the urinary tract system, commonly associated with conditions such as infections, inflammation, or even malignancies. The SEM magnification at x5000 allows us to appreciate the damaged and spiky appearance of these biological structures. The transitionally shaped epithelial cells are particularly prominent in cases of bladder infections, which can cause them to accumulate in large numbers within urine sediment. By exploring this photograph's intricacies, we gain valuable insights into haematological aspects related to urinary health. It serves as a powerful reminder that our bodies are complex ecosystems susceptible to various ailments. Science Photo Library continues to contribute immensely by capturing such visually stunning images that bridge the gap between scientific research and public understanding. This particular print is not only scientifically informative but also artistically striking due to its false-coloured representation.
