Fat cells, TEM
Fat cells. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through fat (adipose) tissue. Each fat cell or adipocyte, consists of a large central lipid droplet (green) surrounded by a thin layer of cytoplasm (yellow-green) containing the nucleus (purple). Fat cells store energy as an insulating layer of fat under the skin. Magnification: x4000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate world of fat cells. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we witness a section through adipose tissue, showcasing the remarkable structure and function of these vital components within our bodies. Each fat cell, known as an adipocyte, is characterized by its large central lipid droplet depicted in vibrant green hues. Surrounding this reservoir of energy is a thin layer of cytoplasm, illustrated in yellow-green tones, which houses the nucleus portrayed in regal purple. Fat cells play a crucial role in storing energy and maintaining insulation beneath our skin. This image serves as a testament to their significance within our biology and overall health. With a magnification level of x4000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, it allows us to appreciate the intricate details that make up these essential structures. Through this false-coloured representation produced using advanced microscopy techniques, we gain insight into the normal anatomy and composition of fat tissue. The histological beauty captured here invites contemplation on the wonders hidden within our own bodies. Science Photo Library continues to showcase groundbreaking scientific imagery like this one – shedding light on various aspects of cellular biology while inspiring curiosity about the intricacies that define us as humans.
