Microscopic Organisms and Cells

Microscopic images revealing various parasitic organisms and cellular structures with intricate details, combining shades of green, blue, and subtle hues.

This trichrome-stained photomicrograph revealed a parasitic Entamoeba histolytica trophozoite that contained a single round nucleus in which you can see peripherally located chromatin and a centrally located karyosome. Also note the presence of numbers of vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the organisms. CDC/Dr Mae Melvin 1977

Beads ca. 1st century B.C.-1st century A.D. Parthian These two flat, circular stone beads were discovered on the surface at Shahr-i Qumis in northern Iran, which has been identified as the ancient city of Hecatompylos, established by the Parthians as their capital by about 200 B.C. In Greek Hecatompylos means a hundred gates,’ suggesting that the city was quite large. Indeed, the modern archaeological site includes several mounds, only a few of which have been excavated, and a vast area covered with potsherds.The excavations at Shahr-i Qumis by the British Institute of Persian Studies in 1967 were co-sponsored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, the museum did not acquire these beads until 1978, as a result of the Met’s financial contributions to the Institute’s excavations at Tepe Nush-i Jan, another site in Iran. At the time the Iranian government allowed foreign excavators to keep a portion of the finds, and these excavators in turn would divide their share among the instit

CacheCam Image of Perseverance's 14th Sample of Martian Rock. Perseverance's Sampling and Caching System Camera, or CacheCam, captured this time-lapse series of images of the rover's 14th rock-core sample. Taken over four Martian days (or sols) - on Sols 595, 599, 601, and 604 of the mission (Oct. 22, Oct. 26, Oct. 28, and Oct. 31, 2022) - they document the results of the mission's use of the rover's Bore Sweep Tool to remove dust from the tube. Small dust grains can be seen moving around the rim of the sample tube. The tool is designed to clean the inner surface near the tube's opening and also move the collected rock sample further down into the tube. Because the CacheCam's depth of field is plus or minus 5 millimeters, the rock sample, which is farther down in the tube, is not in focus in these images. The pixel scale in this image is approximately 13 microns per pixel. The images were acquired on Oct. 5. When the rover attempted to insert a seal into the open end of the tube, the s

Under 900X magnification, this photomicrograph of a chorazole black-stained specimen revealed the presence of a cyst of the parasitic organism, Entamoeba histolytica. Although mature cysts of E. histolytica contain four nuclei, in this particular view you can clearly see only two nuclei in the focal plane shown, along with a darkly staining chromatoid body.

This photomicrograph of a trichrome-stained specimen revealed the presence of a mononuclear cyst of Entamoeba hartmanni (arrow). The cysts of E. hartmanni are similar to those of E. histolytica, but smaller, measuring 5 to 10 m. Mature cysts contain four nuclei which have a small centrally located discrete karyosome and evenly distributed peripheral chromatin. Cysts may not be visible on unstained specimens. The cytoplasm of mature cysts may contain diffuse glycogen and rounded or elongated chromatoid bodies with rounded ends. CDC/Dr Mae Melvin 1977

This artist's concept show how it is possible for a single collection of particles, which share a common family of orbits around the Sun, to produce the appearance of identical bands on either side of the zodical or ecliptic plane. The bands were discovered in data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite. Also illustrated is the concept of a comet/asteroid collision which could have created a cloud of debris. The dust cloud, as depicted here, has the orbital parameters needed to produce the band structure observed by IRAS.

Mars Under the Microscope (color)

. Perseverance's CacheCam Views a Regolith Sample. This image of Martian regolith - broken rock and dust - was captured Dec. 2, 2022, by the Sampling and Caching System Camera (known as CacheCam) on NASA's Perseverance Mars rover. The regolith, contained inside a metal tube, is one of two samples that will be considered for deposit on the Martian surface this month as part of the Mars Sample Return campaign. The sample was collected in Mars' Jezero Crater from a pile of wind-blown sand and dust called a mega-ripple - a feature similar to but smaller than a dune. Studying regolith with powerful lab equipment back on Earth will allow scientists to better understand the processes that have shaped the surface of Mars and help engineers design future missions as well as equipment used by future Martian astronauts. A key objective for Perseverance's mission on Mars is astrobiology, including the search for signs of ancient microbial life. The rover will characterize the planet's geology and

These natural color views from NASA's Cassini spacecraft compare the appearance of Saturn's north-polar region in June 2013 and April 2017. In both views, Saturn's polar hexagon dominates the scene. The comparison shows how clearly the color of the region changed in the interval between the two views, which represents the latter half of Saturn's northern hemisphere spring. In 2013, the entire interior of the hexagon appeared blue. By 2017, most of the hexagon's interior was covered in yellowish haze, and only the center of the polar vortex retained the blue color. The seasonal arrival of the sun's ultraviolet light triggers the formation of photochemical aerosols, leading to haze formation. The general yellowing of the polar region is believed to be caused by smog particles produced by increasing solar radiation shining on the polar region as Saturn approached the northern summer solstice on May 24, 2017. Scientists are considering several ideas to explain why the center of the polar v
