Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through healthy liver tissue. Fat droplets are yellow, cell nuclei are red and mitochondria are blue. The liver plays a vital role in metabolism, storing nutrients in forms such as glycogen, and helping to clean the blood of toxins and other waste products. The scale bar is equal to 2 micrometres.
