Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Simian AIDS viruses, TEM
Simian AIDS virus particles, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). These virus particles (small, round) are bursting out of a cell (across bottom) after using the cell to replicate. They are simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) particles, the simian (monkey) equivalent of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) that causes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) in humans. There are theories that HIV passed to humans from monkeys, chimpanzees or other primates. Both viruses attack the immune system, leaving the victim exposed to potentially fatal secondary infections

Discover the intriguing world of science with Media Storehouse's Poster Prints featuring the "Simian AIDS viruses, TEM" image from Science Photo Library. This captivating poster showcases the vibrant transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) particles, which can be seen bursting out of a cell after replication. This mesmerizing image offers a unique perspective into the microscopic realm, making it an excellent addition to any laboratory, classroom, or home office. Immerse yourself in the wonders of scientific discovery with Media Storehouse's high-quality poster prints.
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 59.4cm x 39.6cm (23.4" x 15.6")
Estimated Product Size is 59.4cm x 42cm (23.4" x 16.5")
These are individually made so all sizes are approximate

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Simian AIDS viruses, captured through a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). The image reveals small, round virus particles bursting out of a cell, which they have utilized for replication. These particular particles are known as simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), the monkey equivalent of HIV that leads to AIDS in humans. The photograph sheds light on theories surrounding the origins of HIV, suggesting its transmission from monkeys, chimpanzees, or other primates to humans. Both SIV and HIV target and weaken the immune system, leaving individuals vulnerable to potentially life-threatening secondary infections. With its false-coloured presentation highlighting various aspects of these pathogens' biology and reproduction process, this image serves as an invaluable resource in fields such as medicine, virology, and pathology. It provides researchers with a closer look at how these viral agents operate within their host cells. By offering us a glimpse into the microscopic realm where viruses thrive and replicate themselves relentlessly, this print invites contemplation on our ongoing battle against infectious diseases. It underscores the importance of understanding these complex organisms in order to develop effective treatments and preventive measures. Captured by Science Photo Library's skilled photographers using advanced techniques like TEM microscopy, this visually stunning portrayal stands testament to humanity's ceaseless pursuit of knowledge about our own health and well-being.
