Influenza virus, TEM

Influenza virus. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of an influenza ( flu) virus particle. Influenza belongs to the orthomyxovirus group of viruses. It contains a core of RNA (ribonucleic acid) genetic material inside a protein coat (capsid, yellow). Antigenic spikes (blue fringe) on the capsid allow the virus to attach to its host cell. Influenza is an infection of the respiratory tract. It causes fever, aching muscles, a sore throat and weakness. New strains of the virus develop rapidly, and can cause epidemics. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty of an influenza virus, as seen under a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The vibrant colors highlight the various components that make up this notorious pathogen. At its core lies the RNA genetic material, enclosed within a protein coat or capsid, depicted in striking yellow hues. Surrounding the capsid are antigenic spikes adorned in shades of blue, enabling the virus to attach itself to host cells. Influenza belongs to the orthomyxovirus group and is known for causing respiratory tract infections. Its symptoms include fever, muscle pain, sore throat, and weakness. This highly infectious microbe has the ability to rapidly develop new strains and trigger epidemics. The magnification level used for capturing this image remains unknown but it showcases the remarkable details present at such minuscule levels. This photograph serves as a testament to both biology and medicine's ongoing battle against viral diseases like influenza. Displayed by Science Photo Library, this print offers a glimpse into virology and highlights how viruses can be both fascinating and dangerous entities within our world of microscopic organisms. It reminds us of their capacity to cause disease while also emphasizing their complex structures that continue to captivate scientists worldwide.
