Basophil white blood cell, TEM
Basophil white blood cell. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of section through a circulating basophil cell. Basophils are the smallest and least common of the white blood cells. Like all white blood cells (leucocytes), basophils are part of the bodys immune system, involved in allergic and inflammatory reactions. They secrete the chemicals heparin and histamine, which are stored in granules (dark circles) in the cells cytoplasm. Magnification: x8, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of a basophil white blood cell, captured through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Basophils are the smallest and least common type of white blood cells, playing a vital role in our body's immune system. They are primarily involved in allergic and inflammatory reactions. The image reveals the detailed anatomy of this basophil cell, highlighting its nucleus and various organelles. Dark circles represent granules within the cytoplasm where essential chemicals like heparin and histamine are stored. These substances play crucial roles in immune defense mechanisms. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with an impressive magnification of x8,000, this photograph offers viewers an up-close look at the cellular world that exists within us. It serves as a reminder of the complex biological processes constantly occurring to keep our bodies healthy and functioning optimally. Whether you have an interest in biology or simply appreciate the beauty found within nature's microscopic realm, this stunning print is sure to captivate your imagination. It provides insight into how our immune system responds to allergens and inflammation while showcasing the remarkable intricacies present within even our tiniest cells.
