Colour TEM of a cluster of five influenza viruses
Influenza virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph of a cluster of five spherical-shaped influenza (flu) viruses. Each virus is made up of a core of ribonucleic acid (RNA, not seen here), surrounded by a spiked protein envelope. The tiny external spikes stick to host cells when the virus invades the body. The virus has an affinity for mucus, and is spread in droplets from coughs or sneezes. These contagious viruses belongs to the orthomyxovirus group. Infection is usually short- lived. However, the spikes on the virus can change structure to create a new strain of influenza that may spread as an epidemic. Magnification: x76, 800 at 6x7cm size. x200, 000 at 7x9ins

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details of a cluster of five influenza viruses. The spherical-shaped viruses are depicted in a colored transmission electron micrograph, revealing their fascinating structure. Each virus consists of a core made up of ribonucleic acid (RNA), which is not visible in this image, surrounded by a spiked protein envelope. The external spikes on these flu viruses play a crucial role in their ability to invade host cells. These tiny spikes attach themselves to the cells when the virus enters the body, leading to infection. With an affinity for mucus, these contagious viruses are primarily spread through droplets from coughs or sneezes. Belonging to the orthomyxovirus group, these particular strains of influenza typically cause short-lived infections. However, what makes them particularly concerning is their capability to undergo structural changes in their spike proteins. This adaptability allows them to create new strains that can potentially lead to widespread epidemics. Captured at an impressive magnification level of x76,800 for a 6x7cm size print and x200,000 for a 7x9ins print, this photograph offers viewers an up-close look at these microscopic disease-causing agents. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within biology and virology research while highlighting the importance of understanding and combating infectious diseases like influenza.
