LM of Trichina larvae encysted in muscle tissue
Light micrograph of Trichina spiralis (formerly called Trichinella spiralis) larvae encysted in human muscle tissue. Each cyst (blue) contains a single tightly-coiled larva which is seen section- ed at several points (purple sausage shapes). T. spiralis is a species of roundworm parasitic on carnivores & the cause of trichinosis in humans. It may be found in pigs, foxes, dogs, cats, badgers & rats. Humans contract trichinosis through eating poorly-cooked pork infected with larval cysts. The worms mature in the intestine & release a new generation of larvae which burrow through the intestinal wall & migrate towards the muscles. Magnification: x200 at 35mm size

Nematoda Nematode Parasite Parasitic Roundworm Light Micrograph
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 the intricate world of Trichina larvae encysted in muscle tissue. The light micrograph reveals the mesmerizing details of Trichinella spiralis, formerly known as Trichina spiralis, larvae nestled within human muscle tissue. Each cyst, depicted in a striking blue hue, cradles a single tightly-coiled larva that can be observed sectioned at various points resembling purple sausage shapes. Trichinosis, caused by T. spiralis, is an affliction found in humans who consume undercooked pork contaminated with larval cysts. This species of roundworm primarily preys on carnivores like pigs, foxes, dogs, cats, badgers and rats. Once ingested by humans through infected meat consumption, these worms mature within the intestine and release a new generation of larvae. The magnification level for this image is x200 at 35mm size – allowing us to marvel at the intricacies hidden within nature's creations. It serves as a stark reminder of the delicate balance between wildlife and parasites that coexist in our ecosystem. Science Photo Library provides us with yet another awe-inspiring glimpse into the realm of zoology and invertebrates. This photograph not only educates us about trichinosis but also highlights the importance of proper cooking techniques to ensure our well-being when indulging in carnivorous delicacies. Let this image serve as a testament to both nature's beauty and its potential dangers lurking beneath its
