Description
Color enhanced scanning electron micrograph of a macrophage (green) and two lymphocytes (blue). Lymphocytes and macrophages are both white blood cells involved in the bodies immune response to infection. Macrophages form in the bone marrow and can attack many types of foreign organisms. The majority of white blood cells, like lymphocytes, are stored in lymph nodes and "filter" pathogens (like bacteria) from the lymph that passes through them.
