The image claimed to be the "most detailed view of a human cell to date," is actually an artistic illustration by David Goodsell, synthesizing structural data from various studies, not a real photograph, as debunked by a 2022 Newsweek fact-check analyzing its repeated circulation since at least 2021.
This visualization highlights cellular complexity, including organelles like mitochondria and ribosomes, aligning with research from the Protein Data Bank, which integrates over 200,000 molecular structures, though it exaggerates colors and shapes for aesthetic impact rather than scientific accuracy.
Recent advances in microscopy, such as cryo-electron tomography, have produced true high-resolution cell images (e.g., a 2023 Nature study resolving structures at 4-5 nanometers), suggesting the post's claim lags behind current scientific capabilities.
