Fine Art Print : Coloured TEM of three influenza viruses
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Coloured TEM of three influenza viruses
Influenza virus. Coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of 3 influenza (flu) viruses. Each virus is made up of a core of RNA-genetic material (red) surrounded by a spiked protein envelope (green). 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 viruses belong 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: x183, 000 at 6x4.5cm size. x110, 000 at 35mm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of three influenza viruses, providing us with an up-close look at these microscopic invaders. Each virus is composed of a central core made up of RNA-genetic material, depicted in vibrant red hues, surrounded by a spiked protein envelope that appears in striking green tones. These tiny external spikes play a crucial role in the virus's ability to infect host cells. When the influenza virus invades the body, these spikes latch onto and stick to host cells. It is through this mechanism that the virus gains entry into our bodies and begins its replication process. The affinity for mucus makes it particularly effective at spreading from person to person through droplets released during coughs or sneezes. Belonging to the orthomyxovirus group, these particular strains of influenza are known for causing short-lived infections. However, what makes them truly formidable is their capacity to undergo structural changes in their spike proteins. This ability allows them to create new strains of influenza that can potentially lead to widespread epidemics. The level of magnification captured in this image is truly remarkable - x183,000 at 6x4.5cm size and x110,000 at 35mm - offering us an unprecedented view into the intricate world of viruses and highlighting the importance of virology research in understanding and combating infectious diseases like influenza.
