Borrelia bacteria, SEM

Borrelia bacteria, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). These bacteria (Borrelia sp.) are pathogenic, causing diseases in humans and in animals. They are transmitted by arthropods such as ticks. Lyme disease and relapsing fever are two diseases that are caused by Borrelia bacteria. The bacteria are long, coiling rope-like structures. Magnification: x3500 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Borrelia bacteria, as captured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life these pathogenic microorganisms that pose a threat to both humans and animals. Borrelia bacteria are primarily transmitted through arthropods such as ticks, making them responsible for diseases like Lyme disease and relapsing fever. Their long, coiling rope-like structures can be seen in this image, magnified 3500 times when printed at a height of 10cm. The false coloring technique used in this SEM image enhances our understanding of these microscopic creatures. It allows us to visually explore their biology and appreciate the complexity hidden within their tiny forms. As we delve into the realm of bacteriology and microbiology, it becomes evident how crucial it is to study pathogens like Borrelia bacteria. By unraveling their secrets, scientists can develop effective strategies for combating diseases caused by these microbes. This print from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder of the unseen battles taking place within our bodies and ecosystems every day. It invites us to marvel at the beauty found even in the tiniest corners of nature while highlighting the importance of ongoing research in microbiological sciences.
