Poster Print : False-colour TEM of Staphylococcus aureus
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
False-colour TEM of Staphylococcus aureus
Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, showing a complete bacterium (centre) & another undergoing lysis due to effects of antibiotics (top right). Lysis (the death of the individual bacterium) occurs through the destruction of the outer plasma membrane (appears blue around complete bacterium), & the release of intracellular contents into the surrounding medium. S. aureus (a species of spherical, non-motile, Gram-positive bacteria) is responsible for pus containing infections such as boils and abscesses. S. aureus also secretes an exotoxin causing a type of acute gastro-enteritis. Mag: x41, 000 at 6x7cm, x20, 500 at 35mm size

A2 (59.4 x 42cm) Poster Print
Discover the intricacy of life with our stunning False-colour TEM of Staphylococcus aureus print from Science Photo Library. This captivating poster showcases two Staphylococcus aureus bacteria in exquisite detail. The centre image reveals a complete bacterium, while the top right image reveals one undergoing lysis due to the effects of antibiotics. Bring the wonders of science into your home or office with this vibrant and educational addition to your space. The Media Storehouse range of Poster Prints delivers high-quality, museum-grade prints, ensuring a long-lasting and visually striking display.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
Estimated Image Size (if not cropped) is 42cm x 53.9cm (16.5" x 21.2")
Estimated Product Size is 42cm x 59.4cm (16.5" x 23.4")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate
Artwork printed orientated as per the preview above, with portrait (vertical) orientation to match the source image.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Staphylococcus aureus, a species of bacteria responsible for various infections. The false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals two distinct scenes within this microscopic universe. At the center, we witness a complete bacterium in all its spherical glory. Surrounding it is a mesmerizing blue hue, representing the outer plasma membrane that shields and defines its existence. However, our attention is immediately drawn to the top right corner where another bacterium undergoes lysis due to the potent effects of antibiotics. This process leads to the destruction of its protective plasma membrane, causing it to release intracellular contents into its surroundings. It's an awe-inspiring sight that captures both life and death on such a minuscule scale. Staphylococcus aureus is notorious for causing pus-containing infections like boils and abscesses in humans. Additionally, this resilient bacterium secretes an exotoxin capable of inducing acute gastroenteritis—a testament to its adaptability and survival mechanisms. With magnification at x41,000 on a 6x7cm print or x20,500 at 35mm size, this image offers us an extraordinary glimpse into the hidden realm of microbes. Through Science Photo Library's lens, we can appreciate not only their beauty but also their significance in understanding bacterial biology and combating infectious diseases through antibiotic research.
