If you use hard gamma rays as a light source and false colour it...

When working in microscopic scale, NO imaging is going to be realistic, 
even a photo. Usualy, when going under the micrometer scale, colours 
tend to loose any meaning. The same also appens to highlights soon after 
that.
In the photos we see, any colour is from extremely concentrated dies and 
post processing. Under a microscope, without dies, any cell looks prety 
much colourless transparent, with the occasional speck of colour.
