In this unique label-free footage obtained from a demo at the Infection and Immunity lab of the UMC in Utrecht, a culture of neutrophils can be seen phagocyting pneumonia bacteria. An image was obtained every 1.9s for 4hours and 45 minutes. We can clearly distinguish the different structures of the neutrophils, from their multi-lobulated nucleus to the phagosomes formed as a result of the phagocytic process.
