False-colour SEM of adenoviruses on red blood cell

False-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a group of adenoviruses (yellow) on the surface of a red blood cell of a chicken. Adenoviruses are the causative agents of many respiratory diseases. The viruses are about 80 nanometres in diameter, and do not have the lipoprotein envelope associated with many other virus genera. The genome of the adenovirus is double-stranded and linear DNA. Adenoviruses were first isolated from human adenoidal glands. Magnification x5700 at 6x7cm size

Adenovirus Blood Cell Virology Viruses False Coloured Micro Biology Virus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a false-colour scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of adenoviruses thriving on the surface of a red blood cell from a chicken. The vibrant yellow hue beautifully contrasts against the crimson backdrop, making these minuscule viruses stand out in all their glory. Adenoviruses are notorious culprits behind numerous respiratory diseases, and this image provides an up-close look at these infectious agents. Measuring only about 80 nanometres in diameter, these adenoviruses lack the lipoprotein envelope commonly found in other virus genera. Their double-stranded and linear DNA genome is visible within each tiny viral particle. Originally discovered in human adenoidal glands, adenoviruses have since become subjects of intense study within virology and microbiology fields. Captured at an astounding magnification of x5700, this SEM print offers viewers an unprecedented glimpse into the intricate world of viruses. The sheer detail captured by Science Photo Library's expert photographers is truly remarkable. This particular photograph measures 6x7cm and serves as a testament to both the beauty and complexity that exists within our microscopic realm.
