Abstract computer graphic of a viral attack
Viral attack. Three-dimensional computer graphic representation of spiked viruses (at top) on the attack. The microscopic surface of a cell is depicted at bottom, with some viruses budding out of the cell. Viruses are infectious agents. They cause ailments ranging from warts, the common cold and influenza, to serious diseases like rabies, Lassa fever and AIDS. The viruses consist of a protein coat that houses genetic material. Spikes on the coat allow these viruses to bind to the surface of host cells before infection. Spiked viruses include HIV which causes AIDS, and the influenza virus. Viral spikes may change structure to form a new strain of the virus

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an abstract computer graphic representation of a viral attack. At the top, we witness three-dimensional spiked viruses launching their assault on unsuspecting host cells. The intricate microscopic surface of a cell is depicted at the bottom, with some viruses emerging and budding outwards. Viruses, these infectious agents that range from causing common ailments like warts and colds to severe diseases such as rabies, Lassa fever, and AIDS, are brought to life in this artwork. Composed of a protein coat housing genetic material, these tiny invaders utilize spikes on their surface to bind themselves to host cells before initiating infection. Notable examples of spiked viruses include HIV (the culprit behind AIDS) and the influenza virus. What makes this image even more intriguing is its symbolic nature; it serves as a visual reminder of the constant battle between our immune systems and these microscopic adversaries that threaten our well-being. Moreover, it highlights how viral spikes can undergo structural changes leading to the emergence of new strains. Crafted by Science Photo Library's talented artists, this illustration seamlessly merges artistry with scientific accuracy to create an impactful representation of a viral attack in all its complexity. It serves as both a testament to human ingenuity in understanding such phenomena and a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges posed by infectious diseases worldwide.
