Isospora sp. parasites, TEM
Isospora sp. parasites. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of Isospora sp. parasites (yellow) in a sectioned cell. These asexual merozoites inhabit the epithelial cells of the human intestines, particularly in immuno- suppressed individuals. The parasite, surrounded here by a spore membrane (pink), is ingested in contaminated food and water. It replicates sexually and asexually in the lining, causing tissue damage. Symptoms of infection include diarrhoea, weight loss and fatigue. Infection is treated with drugs and prevented with good hygiene. Magnification: x6600 at 6x7cm 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 from Science Photo Library showcases Isospora sp. parasites, providing a vivid glimpse into the microscopic world of these tiny organisms. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we can observe the yellow Isospora sp. parasites residing within a sectioned cell. These particular parasites are asexual merozoites that inhabit the epithelial cells of the human intestines, with a preference for individuals who have weakened immune systems. Contamination through food and water ingestion is their primary mode of transmission. Once inside the body, they replicate both sexually and asexually in the intestinal lining, leading to tissue damage. Symptoms of an Isospora sp. infection include diarrhoea, weight loss, and fatigue - all consequences of their destructive activity within our bodies. Fortunately, effective treatment options exist in the form of drugs while good hygiene practices play an essential role in prevention. The magnification level at x6600 reveals intricate details about these parasitic organisms on a 6x7cm scale. This image serves as a valuable resource for researchers studying host-parasite interactions or those interested in nature's fascinating intricacies at its smallest scale.
