About this model
A cell without a nucleus is still a complete living thing, and this prokaryotic cell 3d model shows how. A rod shaped bacterium lies on two steel rods above a lilac board. A quarter of it is cut away along its full length, and the cut faces show the layers as colour bands: light mint capsule, green cell wall, yellow membrane and light blue cytoplasm. Inside lie the nucleoid as a red looped DNA strand without a nuclear envelope, three small orange plasmid rings and many dark violet ribosome dots. Short pili cover the outside and a long helical flagellum with a hook ring grows from one pole. Including the flagellum it is 40 cm long and 14.5 cm high, with 19,456 triangles. The Bacteria model is a clay style microbe with a side window, and Human Cell and Plant Cell are eukaryotes, so this layered teaching piece fills a gap.
Good for
- Prokaryote versus eukaryote lessons
- Microbiology and antibiotics explainer
- Biology textbook illustration
- Educational game about microbes

Engine import notes
Unity GLB · FBX
Import the GLB with the glTFast package or use the FBX. 1 m in the file = 1 Unity unit.
Unreal Engine FBX
Use the FBX. The model is built in metres. Unreal works in centimetres and converts on import, so it arrives at real size (0.15 m = 14 cm).
Godot 4 GLB · FBX
Drag the GLB into the FileSystem dock. Godot 4 imports it directly, with materials. The FBX works too (Godot 4.3+ imports it natively).
Blender BLEND · GLB
Open the .blend directly, or import the GLB via File › Import › glTF 2.0.
