The microscopy slides are part of a recently released book called The Cell: A Visual Tour of the Building Block of Life. Each photograph gives an insight into what happens inside a living cell.
The book explores how our existence and that of everything around us relies on these miniscule structures, and emphasises how even single-cell bacterium can have a global impact.
It includes explanations by science writer Jack Challoner, who has collaborated with the Science Museum in London, who examines the passage of the cell through time.
