Coloured SEM of a T-cell infected with AIDS virus
AIDS virus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the surface of a T-lymphocyte white blood cell (brown) infected with HIV viruses (green). HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the cause of AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). This T-lymphocyte is from a culture cell line known as H9. The infected T-cell has a lumpy appearance with irregular surface protrusions. Small spherical virus particles (green) seen on the surface are budding away from the cell membrane. This viral infection causes death of T-lymphocyte immune cells and is the main reason for the destruction of the immune system in AIDS. Magnification: x13, 000 at 6x7cm size. x40, 000 at 10x8ins & 11, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a T-cell infected with the AIDS virus. The image reveals the intricate surface of a brown T-lymphocyte white blood cell, which has been invaded by green HIV viruses. HIV, also known as Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is responsible for causing Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The infected T-cell exhibits an irregular and lumpy appearance with protrusions on its surface. Notably, small spherical virus particles are seen budding away from the cell membrane in shades of vibrant green. This viral infection leads to the demise of T-lymphocyte immune cells and serves as the primary cause behind the destruction of the immune system in individuals affected by AIDS. The magnification level employed to capture this remarkable image was x13,000 at 6x7cm size. For larger prints measuring 10x8ins, it reached an impressive x40,000 magnification. Meanwhile, at a smaller size of 6x4.5cm, it achieved an amplification factor of 11,000. This visually stunning photograph provides valuable insights into the microscopic world where deadly battles between viruses and our immune system take place. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the beauty and devastation that can be found within our own bodies when faced with diseases like AIDS caused by HIV infections.
