Human chromosomes and nucleus, SEM
Human chromosomes and nucleus, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Chromosomes are a packaged form of the genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The DNA normally exists in a non-condensed form in the cell nucleus (upper right). It condenses into chromosomes (centre and lower left) during cell replication. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes, consisting of 23 chromosome pairs. Magnification: x4350 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of human chromosomes and nucleus, as captured by a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM). Chromosomes are the condensed form of DNA, our genetic material that holds the blueprint for life. Normally existing in a non-condensed state within the cell nucleus, DNA transforms into these distinct chromosome structures during cell replication. In this image, we witness the mesmerizing complexity of 46 chromosomes found in humans. These chromosomes come in pairs, totaling 23 sets. The magnification used to capture this stunning detail is an impressive x4350 when printed at just 10 centimeters across. The vibrant colors and sharp details emphasize the significance of genetics and cell biology in understanding our existence. Each chromosome represents a crucial segment of our genetic code, containing vital information that determines our physical traits and characteristics. This photograph not only serves as a visual feast for biology enthusiasts but also highlights the marvels of scientific imaging technology. It reminds us how microscopic wonders can be transformed into breathtaking works of art through advanced techniques like SEM. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into the world unseen by naked eyes – unlocking knowledge and appreciation for the intricacies that shape humanity itself.
