Avian influenza virus, TEM C016 / 5841
Avian influenza virus, type A strain H7N9, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This virus first emerged in the human population in China, in March 2013. The virus consists of ribonucleic acid (RNA), surrounded by a nucleocapsid and a lipid envelope. In the envelope are two types of protein spike, haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which determine the strain of virus. The natural hosts of this virus are wild birds. Unusually, infected domestic chickens do not show symptoms, which increases the potential for spread to humans that have contact with chickens. Nearly a third of human infections are proving to be fatal. As of July 2013 no human to human transmission has been recorded. Magnification: x82, 000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

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 the Avian influenza virus, specifically the type A strain H7N9. The image, captured using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), reveals the intricate details of this pathogenic virus that first emerged in China in March 2013. The Avian influenza virus is composed of ribonucleic acid (RNA) surrounded by a nucleocapsid and a lipid envelope. Within the envelope are two types of protein spikes known as haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which play a crucial role in determining the strain of the virus. While wild birds serve as natural hosts for this virus, it has been observed that infected domestic chickens do not exhibit any symptoms. This poses an alarming risk for human transmission, especially for individuals who come into contact with these seemingly healthy chickens. Unfortunately, nearly one-third of human infections have proven to be fatal. As of July 2013, no instances of human-to-human transmission have been recorded. However, scientists continue to study this highly virulent pathogen to better understand its behavior and potential threats to public health. With a magnification level of x82,000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this colored TEM image provides valuable insights into the structure and characteristics of the Avian influenza virus. It serves as a reminder that vigilance and research are essential in combating emerging infectious diseases like bird flu in our ever-evolving world.
