Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, micrograph
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Light micrograph of blood cells sampled from a lymphatic ganglion in a case of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, also called chronic lymphoid leukaemia (CLL). Leukaemia is a cancer where certain blood cells form in excess. There are several forms, classified according to the type of cell affected. CLL is a cancer where excess white blood cells called lymphocytes form. Present here are lymphocytes, lymphoblasts (immature lymphocytes) and basophils (a different sort of white blood cell). The white blood cells are purple, while red blood cells are pale orange

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a light micrograph of blood cells sampled from a lymphatic ganglion in a case of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). CLL, also known as chronic lymphoid leukaemia, is a form of cancer where an excess of white blood cells called lymphocytes are produced. In this image, we can observe the presence of various types of cells including lymphocytes, lymphoblasts (immature lymphocytes), and basophils. The purple-colored white blood cells stand out against the pale orange hue of red blood cells. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is classified as an abnormal and malignant condition that affects the body's circulatory system and immune system. This microscopic view provides valuable insights into the cellular composition associated with this disease. As we delve into the intricate world of cell biology and histopathology, it becomes evident that understanding diseases like CLL plays a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge and improving patient care. Oncologists specializing in haematology dedicate their efforts to comprehending these pathological conditions at a cellular level. This remarkable photograph serves as both an educational tool for professionals within the field and an eye-opening glimpse into the complexity of our own bodies. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable resources for scientific research by capturing such stunning visuals that bridge medicine with artistry.
