Description
Micrograph of a human white blood cell ingesting a chain of bacteria (Streptococcus sp.). The white blood cell has engulfed, by the process of phagocytosis, a long chain of bacteria visible at center. Through phagocytosis, certain white blood cells and macrophages of the immune system are able to ingest and digest foreign particles such as bacteria that may cause harm to the body. Magnification unknown.
