Bone erosion in a human joint tissue affected by gout.

Stained with H&E (by Satya Amirapu), viewed using polarising light microscopy with a red filter. Uric acid crystals (the causative agent of gout) are orange and blue under these settings. The image shows inflammatory cells and uric acid crystals adjacent to bone.

Two Ships – This image captures the two predominant, morphologically-distinct cell types that differentiate from human peripheral blood monocytes when grown in tissue culture: round and spindle

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence.
1874, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Tales of a Wayside Inn
