Rare Photomicrography Image of Cancer Cells
This is a very rare opportunity for all of us to see what cancer cells inside a human body actually look like. The image above was captured using Photomicrography technique called Deconvolution and later color enhanced for better definition and depth of the image. The photograph shows two Telophase HeLa cancer cells just before division.
As you know, cancer cells are cells with compromised DNA which causes them to fail to die naturally. Such mutated cells gain an ability to multiply uncontrollably and this process of cancer cell multiplication is captured in the rare Photomicrography image above.
The cancer cells image was submitted to the Nikon sponsored Small World Photomicrography Competition 2010 by Paul D. Andrews from the University of Dundee, Scotland, UK.
