A closer shot of Cristina at work, the live image feed from the microscope is visible on the computer in the background.
This image whilst ethereally beautiful is leukaemia cells (red) distributed throughout the bone marrow cavity. Green are endothelial cells delimiting blood vessels, and blue are osteoblasts, bone making cells. Grey is collagen, one of the main components of bone, encasing the bone marrow.
