Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Coloured TEM of nuclear polyhedrosis viruses
Nuclear polyhedrosis viruses. Coloured transmiss- ion electron micrograph (TEM) of nuclear polyhedrosis insect viruses. The viruses have an envelope (blue) which may contain several virus particles. After being eaten by an insect, they infect the cells lining the insects gut, before spreading to the rest of its body and killing it. Inside the nuclei of the insects cells, they form structures which are eaten by other insects, continuing their life-cycle. These viruses have been used as a means of biologically controlling insect pests, as they are not pathogenic in other organisms. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of nuclear polyhedrosis viruses, also known as baculoviruses. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we can observe these fascinating insect viruses in detail. The viruses are enclosed within a striking blue envelope, which may contain multiple virus particles. Once ingested by an insect, these viral agents begin their relentless attack on the cells lining the insect's gut. From there, they swiftly spread throughout the entire body, ultimately leading to the demise of their host. Inside the nuclei of the infected insect's cells, these viruses form distinct structures that serve as a vital part of their life-cycle. What makes nuclear polyhedrosis viruses particularly intriguing is their potential for biological control against destructive insect pests. Unlike other organisms, these viruses do not pose any harm or pathogenicity outside their target insects. This unique characteristic has made them valuable tools in managing and regulating pest populations naturally. The magnification used to capture this awe-inspiring image remains unknown but serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic appreciation for nature's microscopic wonders. This remarkable photograph was brought to you by Science Photo Library – showcasing science at its most visually stunning and thought-provoking moments.
