      It’s not an actual view of a cell, its an artificial representation, with distinct colors to differentiate its parts.

      Though fully artistic (and very howls moving castle) you can appreciate all the different parts that run a cell. Fun stuff

    3. It’s not an actual cell of course but a 3D representation of one but still I love it and have used it to teach university cell biology since 2019.

    4. Ok as someone that used to do a lot of microscopy on plant and human cells this is completely an artistic rendering.

      The colors are definitely fake but that is fine.

      Most of the structures look a bit reasonable but some seem way off even with something like electron microscopy.

      I’m assuming they took a lot of electron microscopy images of individual structures and just crunched them all together with color added.

      Do you have a source?

    5. This is just an artistic representation. But I think one thing that comes across very well though is the fact that the cell is a very crowded space. We’re often taught growing up there is large spaces in the cytosol, but this is not the case!

    6. Wow. I thought it was a Google Maps image of Los Angeles with the traffic layer turned on.
