Description
Color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of human melanoma. Melanoma is a serious type of skin cancer that causes most skin cancer related deaths. The cancer attacks melanocytes; the cells that make up melanin (skin pigment). While melanoma usually occurs in the skin, it can also occur in the eye and in internal organs. It is curable if it is detected and treated in its early stages. Magnification 130x
