Glass Place Mat : Tongue bacteria, SEM
Home Decor from Science Photo Library
Tongue bacteria, SEM
Tongue bacteria. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of bacteria on the surface of a human tongue. Large numbers of bacteria can form a visible layer on the surface of the tongue. The mouth contains a large number of bacteria, most of which are harmless or even beneficial. However, some bacteria can cause throat infections or cause the formation of plaque deposits on the teeth, which may lead to decay. Magnification: x4000 at 10cm wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of tongue bacteria, revealing a colourful and vibrant landscape under the scanning electron microscope. The image depicts a multitude of bacteria thriving on the surface of a human tongue, forming an observable layer that highlights the complex microbial ecosystem within our mouths. While it may seem unsettling to envision such a vast number of microorganisms residing in our oral cavity, it is important to note that most of these bacteria are harmless or even beneficial to our overall health. However, there are certain strains that can potentially lead to throat infections or contribute to dental issues like plaque formation and tooth decay. At a magnification level of x4000 and measuring 10cm wide, this false-coloured SEM image provides us with an extraordinary glimpse into the microscopic realm. The green hues add an artistic touch while emphasizing the biological nature of this photograph. By capturing this mesmerizing view through their lens, AccuSoft Inc. , in collaboration with Science Photo Library, invites us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within our own bodies. It serves as a reminder that even at such small scales, life thrives abundantly in ways we often overlook.
