Neutrophils and anthrax bacteria, SEM
Neutrophils and anthrax bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of neutrophil white blood cells (yellow) and Bacillus anthracis bacteria (orange). Neutrophils are cells of the bodys immune system. They engulf (phagocytose) bacteria and destroy them as part of the bodys immune response. B. anthracis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming bacterium. It is the cause of anthrax

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate battle between neutrophils, a type of white blood cell, and Bacillus anthracis bacteria. The coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) reveals the yellow neutrophils engulfing the orange anthrax bacteria, highlighting their crucial role in our body's defense against pathogens. Neutrophils are an essential component of our immune system, responsible for phagocytosing and destroying harmful bacteria as part of our body's immune response. In this image, we witness these remarkable cells in action as they combat B. anthracis, a Gram-positive rod-shaped bacterium known to cause the deadly disease called anthrax. The false-coloured SEM provides a unique perspective on this microscopic battlefield within us. It offers insights into both biology and medicine by illustrating how our immune system interacts with pathogenic invaders at such a minute level. With its implications reaching beyond mere anatomy or bacteriology, this image serves as a reminder of the ongoing threat posed by bioterrorism and biological warfare. By studying these interactions between cells and bacteria through advanced imaging techniques like SEMs, scientists gain valuable knowledge that aids in developing strategies for enhancing immunity against diseases like anthrax. Science Photo Library presents yet another extraordinary visual representation of scientific exploration that delves deep into microbiology while showcasing the beauty hidden within our own bodies' defenses against harm.
