Caption

An electron microscope image showing the mitochondria (like the cell's batteries) inside an erythroid progenitor, the cell that divides to make red blood cells. This image was taken at 50,000x magnification -- 70 of these images lined up side-by-side would equal the diameter of a human hair.
