Premium Framed Print : False-colour TEM of Staphylococcus aureus
Framed Photos 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

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 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.
