Happy #FluoresenceFriday and happy Valentine's day ❤️ We love the @linterman.bsky.social for sharing this image of a mouse lymph node 📸 Emily Watson
Microscopy image in the shape of a heart with purple around the edge and green towards the middle. You can see the formation of germinal centres around the edge (follicular dendritic cells in white, and proliferative B cells in blue), which play an important role in the adaptive immune response. The tissue was also stained for T cells (green), naïve B cells (magenta).
