Coloured TEM of hepatitis B virus particles
Hepatitis B virus. Coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of Hepatitis B virus particles. These particles, also known as Dane particles, are each a whole virus. The spiked outer protein coat is seen. Hepatitis B virus is the cause of " serum hepatitis" or hepatitis B. The virus attacks the liver, producing liver inflammation, flu-like symptoms, followed by jaundice. Hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted disease. It is also spread by infected blood through blood transfusions, tattooing, acupuncture, and needle sharing by intravenous drug abusers. Magnification: x200, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of hepatitis B virus particles, also known as Dane particles. Each particle represents an entire virus and is distinguished by its spiked outer protein coat. Hepatitis B virus is the culprit behind "serum hepatitis" or hepatitis B, a disease that primarily targets the liver. Upon infection, this notorious virus triggers liver inflammation accompanied by flu-like symptoms, eventually leading to jaundice. It's crucial to note that hepatitis B is not only transmitted through sexual contact but can also be spread via infected blood during blood transfusions, tattooing procedures, acupuncture sessions, and needle sharing among intravenous drug abusers. The magnification level of this TEM image stands at an astounding x200,000 when printed at a size of 6x4.5cm. This visual masterpiece serves as a powerful tool in virology and micro biology research fields for studying viruses like hepatitis B in intricate detail. With its vibrant colours and precise detailing capturing the essence of these viral particles responsible for such significant health implications worldwide, this print from Science Photo Library offers both scientific insight and aesthetic appeal to all who behold it.
