MICROSCOPIC MISADVENTURE
This is a photo taken under a microscope, showing a specialised white blood cell called a monocyte. This cell becomes a macrophage, once in tissue, which it patrols for invaders. It has ingested a yeast cell microorganism (the oval structure inside it), and it will now destroy it. The cell is about 0.03 mm in diameter.

Oh great Nick, haven't seen that in a microscope despite the so many things we also did in class long long time ago. You have a lot of blogs, amazed at how you managed to keep them all running.
