Coloured TEM of unidentified enteroviruses
Enteroviruses. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a cluster of unidentified enteroviruses. The protein coat of each virus is yellow; RNA genetic material is contained inside. Around the viruses are specific antibody molecules (red). Enteroviruses belong to the Picornaviruses, a group of small (25-30 nanometres in diameter) RNA viruses with cubic symmetry. They primarily inhabit the intestine, though they are also commonly found in the upper respiratory tract of humans. Enteroviruses can be divided into three groups: polioviruses, coxsackieviruses and echoviruses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cluster of unidentified enteroviruses, captured using a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Each virus is depicted with a vibrant yellow protein coat, while their RNA genetic material resides within. Surrounding these minuscule viruses are specific antibody molecules, represented in striking red hues. Enteroviruses belong to the Picornaviruses group, characterized by their small size (ranging from 25-30 nanometres in diameter) and cubic symmetry. Primarily inhabiting the intestine, enteroviruses can also be commonly found in the upper respiratory tract of humans. They play a significant role in various infections and diseases. This image offers an intriguing glimpse into the intricate world of these microscopic entities that often go unnoticed by our naked eyes. The presence of specific antibodies surrounding the viruses highlights our immune system's response to combat these potentially harmful pathogens. The combination of scientific precision and artistic representation makes this photograph not only visually stunning but also scientifically informative. Captured by Science Photo Library, this print serves as a reminder of both the beauty and complexity that exists at the microscopic level. It invites us to marvel at nature's intricacies while acknowledging its potential impact on human health.
