Description
This is a free colouring of a Scaning Electron Microscope image which me and my wife Maurizia took here at University, where we work. Red blood cells (erythrocytes) are shown together with a single White-T cell (T-Lymphocyte), which actually IS one of our many body "rangers" against infections. The cells are around 4 micrometers in diameter (a micrometer is a millionth of meter), the magnification is around four thousands times, here.

Wow! This IS super-macro! Impressive shot! And we all have it in our own veins! Excellent work!

now this is very interesting. looks like a microscopic image of a blue cell attached to the rest of the dna. hey, youve discovered the "blues" cell. this is the genetic cell that is in every person who suffers from the blues, or enjoys rythym and blues music...one or the other. lol. neat image! if it makes a person think, and imagine, then you have done a great job.

Cool placing and use of color. Keep it up!

Actually, it is quite difficult to define it as a photo. Scanning Electron Microscopy is something similar to screen-capturing images on a television. The sample is "brushed" on a small glass platelet, then covered in atomic gold (a 4 gstrom cover (1= 0,0000000001 meters), which is about four atoms of gold covering), then put into a sort of cathodic tube which scans the sample and projects on a b/w screen the result. In the meanwhile one can pan, look around, magnify, define the width of the brush, and so on (there are about 5 joysticks, two trackballs and 50 or so switches!!!).

Cool real science and technology. I woudl love to do some work with one.

Great micro-work thanks for sharing :)

Fantastic scanning electron microscope-image here .. Amazing how well it turns out as a pleasing and well composed artistic picture. Combinded with your explanation this is really someting else. Excellent work!

Beautiful work! The deformation of the erythrocytes is due to air contact, oxydative stress or illness? Only 1 Lymphocyte in this frame, would have expected at least 5 to 10 here - so cool capture (or very ill person's sample)
