Human chromosomes, SEMs
Human chromosomes. Collage of coloured scanning electron micrographs (SEMs) of human chromosomes. Chromosomes are a packaged form of a cells genetic material DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The DNA condenses into chromosomes during cell replication. Each chromosome consists of two identical strands (chromatids), aligned parallel to each other and joined at an area called a centromere (some highlighted here). The terminal regions (teleomeres) are also highlighted for some of these chromosomes. The XY sex chromosomes are among the images at top centre. A cell is at top left

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of human chromosomes, captured through scanning electron micrographs (SEMs). The collage presents a stunning array of colored SEMs, highlighting the packaged form of genetic material known as DNA. During cell replication, DNA condenses into chromosomes, each consisting of two identical strands called chromatids. These chromatids align parallel to one another and are joined at a central region called a centromere. In this visually striking composition, certain centromeres are highlighted while also drawing attention to the terminal regions known as telomeres. At the top center, we can observe the XY sex chromosomes among other images. Additionally, a single cell is depicted at the top left corner. The image provides an insight into cellular biology and genetics by showcasing various aspects such as chromosomal structure and organization. Through false coloring techniques used in SEMs, this print offers both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. This photograph serves as a reminder of our biological makeup and highlights the complexity that lies within every healthy human body. It represents an amalgamation of biochemical processes that contribute to our existence while emphasizing the importance of understanding genetic material for further advancements in medical research and treatments.
