EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of microbiology, specifically focusing on a single bacterium known as Staphylococcus epidermidis. Through the lens of a transmission electron microscope (TEM), we are granted an up-close and personal view of this fascinating microorganism undergoing division. The false-color technique employed in this image enhances our ability to appreciate the complexity and beauty within the microscopic realm. Magnified at an astonishing x17,500 at 35mm and x38,500 at 6x7cm size, every detail is meticulously captured, allowing us to marvel at the intricacies of nature's tiniest creations. Staphylococcus epidermidis is commonly found on human skin and mucous membranes. While typically harmless to healthy individuals, it can pose a threat to those with compromised immune systems or implanted medical devices. Understanding its structure and behavior through images like these aids researchers in developing effective treatments against infections caused by this bacterium. Science Photo Library has once again provided us with a visually stunning portrayal of scientific discovery. This print serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies lies an entire universe waiting to be explored - one inhabited by countless microorganisms whose existence shapes our health and well-being.
