Influenza virus particles, TEM

Influenza virus particles, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This virus is the cause of the respiratory disease influenza (flu) in humans and other animals. The virus consists of a ribonucleic acid (RNA) genome, surrounded by a nucleocapsid and a lipid envelope In the envelope are two types of protein spike, haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which determine the strain of virus

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of influenza virus particles, as captured through a coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Against a striking black background, these viruses appear both mesmerizing and menacing. Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory disease that affects humans and animals alike. The virus itself consists of an RNA genome enveloped by a nucleocapsid and lipid envelope. Within this envelope are two distinct protein spikes known as haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which play a crucial role in determining the strain of the virus. The false-coloured image allows us to appreciate the complexity of this pathogenic microbe at a microscopic level. It serves as a reminder of the constant threat posed by infectious diseases and highlights the importance of medical research in combating them. With its focus on biology, medicine, virology, and microbiology, this photograph offers valuable insights into our understanding of viral structures. It provides researchers with visual cues to study these virions more comprehensively for potential treatments or preventive measures against influenza. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an exceptional piece that combines scientific accuracy with artistic flair. This print not only educates but also captivates viewers with its stunning portrayal of one of nature's most formidable adversaries – the influenza virus.
