Light micrograph of beef tapeworm cysts in tongue
Light micrograph of a section of beef tongue containing the encysted larvae of the beef tapeworm, Taenia saginata. The lower two thirds of the image (below the blue band of muscle) shows part of a hyatid cyst containing many scolices (dark reddish-brown ovals), the heads of the future tapeworms. Humans may become infected with T. saginata through eating raw or undercooked beef infected with encysted larvae such as these. The larvae develop in the human intestine, reaching an adult length of 4 to 10 metres. The presence of the worm may give rise to increased appetite, hunger pains, weight loss & general weakness.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of beef tapeworm cysts in a section of beef tongue. The lower portion of the image reveals a hyatid cyst, containing numerous scolices that represent the future heads of tapeworms. Taenia saginata, commonly known as the beef tapeworm, can infect humans who consume raw or undercooked beef contaminated with these encysted larvae. The magnified view at 100 times its original size allows us to appreciate the complexity and beauty within this microscopic world. This light micrograph not only serves as a fascinating glimpse into nature's diversity but also highlights the potential health risks associated with consuming infected meat. Once ingested by humans, these larvae develop in our intestines and can grow up to an astonishing length of 4 to 10 meters. The presence of T. saginata may lead to various symptoms such as increased appetite, hunger pains, weight loss, and general weakness. As we observe this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, it reminds us of the importance of proper food preparation and cooking techniques to ensure our well-being. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly ordinary objects like beef tongue lies an entire ecosystem waiting to be explored and understood.
