Spirochete bacteria, TEM
Spirochete bacteria, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Spirochetes are bacteria with helically coiled cells. They contain filamentous flagella (axial filaments) that run lengthwise between the cell membrane and outer membrane. The twisting motion of the flagella allows the bacterium to move about. Here however, the bacteria have been damaged, causing the flagella to break away from the sheaths. Disease causing members of this phylum include Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease and Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis. Magnification: x13, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

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 Spirochete bacteria, captured through a transmission electron microscope. The vibrant colors bring to life the helically coiled cells of these fascinating microorganisms. Spirochetes are known for their unique structure, with filamentous flagella that run lengthwise between the cell membrane and outer membrane. These flagella enable them to move in a twisting motion, granting them remarkable mobility. However, in this particular image, we can observe that some bacteria have suffered damage, causing their flagella to break away from their protective sheaths. It is important to note that while spirochetes may appear mesmerizing under the lens, they can also be pathogenic. Members of this phylum include Borrelia burgdorferi, responsible for Lyme disease, and Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis. Understanding the biology and behavior of these bacteria is crucial in combating such diseases. With a magnification level of x13,000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this print allows us to appreciate the intricacies of these spiral-shaped microorganisms on a whole new level. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity found within our microscopic world – an awe-inspiring testament to nature's diversity and adaptability.
