Spirochaete bacteria, Treponema
Spirochaete. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of two spirochaete (Treponema sp. ) bacteria. These bacteria are from the mouth of a person with periodontal disease. These elongated spiral-shaped bacteria (spirochaetes) lack rigid cell walls. Pathogenic species of Treponema include T. pallidum which causes syphilis; T. carateum which causes the skin disease " pinta" in tropical America; and T. pertenue which causes yaws in Africa. In syphilis, the bacteria may be found in most parts of the body. Negatively stained. 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 from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of Spirochaete bacteria, specifically Treponema species. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), two elongated spiral-shaped spirochaetes are beautifully captured. These particular bacteria were discovered in the mouth of an individual suffering from periodontal disease. What makes these spirochaetes fascinating is their lack of rigid cell walls, setting them apart from other bacterial types. Among the pathogenic species within the Treponema genus, three notable ones include T. pallidum, responsible for causing syphilis; T. carateum, which leads to a skin disease called "pinta" in tropical America; and T. pertenue, known for causing yaws primarily in Africa. Syphilis caused by T. pallidum can affect various parts of the body and has been extensively studied throughout history due to its impact on human health. The negative staining technique used in this image adds depth and contrast to highlight these remarkable microbes under magnification—although specific details regarding magnification remain unknown. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable resources like this one that contribute to our understanding of bacteriology, microbiology, and infectious diseases such as syphilis. This print serves as a reminder of how much there still is left to explore within the microscopic world of bacteria and their role in human health and disease prevention.
