Brain cancer cell, SEM
Brain cancer cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph detail (SEM) of a cancerous cell from a glioma. Large numbers of microvilli project from the cell surface. Gliomas are a type of tumour that arise from glial cells of the central nervous system. The most common site for gliomas is the brain. They can be either low or high-grade, with the latter having the worse prognosis. Magnification: x8000 when printed 10 centimetres wide., by STEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY
