Parvovirus particles, TEM
Parvovirus particles. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of virus particles (orange) clustered around a piece of cell membrane (purple, centre). These particles belong to the Parvoviridae family, which includes the smallest known viruses and some of the most environmentally resistant. Each particle consists of a single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) genome surrounded by an icosahedral protein capsid. Many virus particles belonging to this family have been associated with outbreaks of gastroenteritis, although a causative role in human disease cannot always be established. Magnification: x186, 000 when printed 10 centimetres high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Parvovirus particles, offering a glimpse into the microscopic world of viruses. The coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals orange virus particles clustered around a piece of cell membrane in the center, creating a visually striking image. Belonging to the Parvoviridae family, these particles are among the smallest known viruses and possess remarkable environmental resistance. Each particle consists of a single-stranded DNA genome surrounded by an icosahedral protein capsid. While many viruses from this family have been associated with outbreaks of gastroenteritis, establishing their causative role in human disease can be challenging. With a magnification of x186,000 when printed at 10 centimeters high, this print provides an extraordinary level of detail that allows us to appreciate the intricacies and complexity of these tiny pathogens. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and potential danger that exist within our microbial world. As we delve deeper into understanding viruses and their impact on human health, images like this one become invaluable tools for researchers in fields such as biology, medicine, and virology. This particular photograph is part of Science Photo Library's extensive collection dedicated to capturing moments that shed light on various aspects of science and nature – not only for commercial use but also for educational purposes.
