Photographs that reveal an alien planet? No - the breathtaking animated simulations of the world within the HUMAN BODY

注: 這些圖片美得眩目.裏麵的兩個視頻也值得一看.讓你對病毒和細胞的概念有更直觀的了解和留下深刻的印象.感謝電腦技術的幫助,使一切深奧枯燥的醫學變得直觀有趣.謝謝閱讀!

英國《每日郵報》6月4日刊登了一組酷似科幻大片中外星景觀的3D圖片，令人大開眼界。這一圖集其實是對人體內部構造極其真實的展示，旨在以新穎而具創意的方式幫助學生和科學家了解錯綜複雜的科學和生物進程。

據報道，美國康涅狄格州哈特福特市XVIVO工作室的動畫師將人體內耳和骨髓的運動圖像及胃腸道裏的免疫係統放大了十倍。盡管采用了真實的數據，但設備製出的微觀圖像不是彩色的。因此，插圖專家增加了形狀和色調。該工作室將製成的合集提供給包括哈佛大學、輝瑞製藥公司、美國國防部等在內的機構，並利用電子顯微圖、醫療插圖和照片的複印件再現分子狀態下的人體快照圖。

對此，XVIVO工作室一名合夥人邁克爾·阿斯特拉罕稱，“美學上鼓舞人心的藝術才能真正地打動人。這一意義深刻、令人振奮的旅程不僅有助於獲取知識，也讓枯燥且無新意的教科書重獲新生。”

This is an image of kinesin, a motor protein that is capable of moving across a cell.

An underwater world?: This is an image of kinesin (yellow, centre), a motor protein that is capable of moving across a cell. Kinesins are able to 'walk' along microtubules, filament-like protein structures within cells that are involved in a variety of cellular processes, ranging from cell division to transportation of certain chemicals within cells

A magnified image of a virus blebbing inside human body. In cell biology, a bleb is an irregular bulge in the plasma membrane of a cell.

Resembling an alien biodome: A magnified image of a virus 'blebbing' inside human body. In cell biology, a 'bleb' is an irregular bulge in the plasma membrane of a cell. This often occurs when a cell dies but blebbing also has important functions in other cellular processes, including cell movement and cell division

Image of a marrow cavity where Hematopoietic stem cells are found inside human body. These cells are called 'multipotent stem cells', and are responsible for the production of all blood cells. Through a process known as 'hematopoiesis' these cells mature into white blood cells (which protect us from infection), red blood cells (which carry oxygen to the cells in our bodies), and platelets (which help curb bleeding after injury)

A creature from Mars?: This image is of a microscopic bateriophage, a type of virus that infects and replicates within bacteria

Extra-terrestrial canyons: A computer generated image of Sterocilia, the sensing organelles of hair cells found in the inner ear. They respond to motion for various functions, including hearing and balance inside human body. The hair cells turn the fluid pressure and other stimuli into electrical signals that travel to the brain where they are interpreted as sound

This image shows the microscopic process of how how ATP - a form of energy - is produced within mitochondria inside cells

Here intestinal microvilli from the small intenstine are pictured. Microvilli are responsible for absorbing nutrients into the bloodstream, for transport to the liver and other cells. In order to increase the amount of nutrients taken into the bloodstream, each villus itself has dozens of microvilli, to increase greatly the surface area

Image of Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-beta), a polypeptide found in the human body and milk.

Golgi apparatus are minute organelles found in most complex cells. Golgi apparatus package proteins inside the cell before they are sent to their destination to perform a function

Golgi apparatus are minute organelles found inside most complex cells. They help package proteins inside the cell before they are sent to a part of the body to perform a whatever their job is

Pericytes are pictured on a capillary (a small blood vessel).

Pericytes (green) are pictured on a capillary (a small blood vessel). Pericytes regulate capillary blood flow as well as the clear vessel of cellular debris. In the brain they help sustain the blood-brain barrier
