Candida fungus, SEM
Candida fungus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of budding threads (hyphae) of a Candida fungus. The budding areas are where asexual reproduction is producing new fungus cells. This genus of yeast fungi are commonly found on human skin. Species such as Candida albicans can cause conditions such as thrush and nappy rash. Magnification: x50, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of Candida fungus, revealing its fascinating reproductive process under a scanning electron microscope. The image exhibits a false-colored view of budding threads, known as hyphae, which are responsible for the asexual reproduction and generation of new fungus cells. Candida fungi belong to the yeast family and are commonly found on human skin. However, certain species like Candida albicans can lead to various conditions such as thrush and nappy rash. This photograph provides invaluable insight into the biology and behavior of these microorganisms. With a magnification of x50,000 when printed at 10 centimeters wide, this SEM image allows us to delve into the microscopic realm where pathogenic organisms thrive. Its vibrant colors highlight different aspects of this biological marvel while emphasizing its significance in microbiology and mycology studies. Science Photo Library has once again captured an awe-inspiring moment in nature through their lens. This visually striking print not only serves as a testament to the beauty that lies within our own bodies but also reminds us of the complex relationships between humans and microorganisms that shape our health and well-being.
