Anaerobiospirillum thomasii flagella, TEM
Flagella of a spiral bacterium. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of part of a bacterium with flagella attached (light blue). This bacterium is Anaerobiospirillum thomasii, a species of anaerobic spiral bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and some animals. The bacteria normally have bipolar tufts of flagella, which propel the unicellular organism by beating with a whip-like motion. Magnification: x24, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Anaerobiospirillum thomasii flagella, a species of anaerobic spiral bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and some animals. The coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) reveals part of a bacterium with its light blue flagella attached, creating a mesmerizing visual spectacle. The whip-like motion of these bipolar tufts of flagella propels this unicellular organism through its environment. Each filament beats with precision, allowing the bacterium to navigate and survive within its host. The helical structure adds to the elegance and complexity displayed by this microscopic marvel. With a magnification ratio of x24,000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, every detail is brought to life in stunning clarity. This false-coloured image provides valuable insights into the world of microbiology and bacterial pathogenesis. As we delve deeper into understanding these microorganisms that inhabit our bodies, images like this serve as reminders that even at such small scales, there is an extraordinary level of intricacy and sophistication present in nature's designs. Science Photo Library has once again captured a momentous snapshot from the realm of biology and medicine. This print not only highlights the scientific significance but also serves as an artistic representation showcasing the harmonious blend between science and aesthetics.
