Hepatitis B viruses, TEM
Hepatitis B viruses. Coloured transmission elect- ron micrograph (TEM) of hepatitis B viruses (large lime green circles), a cause of liver inflamm- ation. The smaller circles and the rod-shaped objects are surplus viral coat (capsid) protein from infected liver cells. These non-infectious antigens (foreign proteins) are used to make vaccines against hepatitis B. The complete viruses are called Dane particles. Hepatitis B is transmitted by infected blood, passed mainly through sexual intercourse or shared hypodermic needles. Symptoms include headache, fever, weakness and jaundice. Magnification unknown

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 Hepatitis B viruses, captured using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The large lime green circles represent the actual hepatitis B viruses, which are known to cause inflammation in the liver. Surrounding these viral particles are smaller circles and rod-shaped objects, which are surplus viral coat proteins derived from infected liver cells. Although non-infectious themselves, these antigens play a crucial role in developing vaccines against hepatitis B. The complete form of these viruses is referred to as Dane particles. Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through infected blood and can be contracted via sexual intercourse or shared hypodermic needles. Symptoms of this viral infection include headaches, fever, weakness, and jaundice. While the magnification level used for capturing this image remains unknown, it highlights the intricate details of these pathogenic agents responsible for causing liver infections. This photograph serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying virology and microbiology by providing an up-close look at the structure and characteristics of hepatitis B viruses.
