Coronavirus particles, TEM
Coronavirus particles. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of three coronavirus particles. Different strains of coronavirus are responsible for diseases such as the common cold, gastroenteritis and SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). SARS is a fatal disease that first appeared in China in 2002. The coronaviruses take their name from their crown (corona) of surface proteins, which are used to attach and penetrate their host cells. Once inside the cells, the particles use the cells machinery to make more copies of the virus. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of coronavirus particles, captured through a transmission electron micrograph (TEM). The image reveals three distinct strains of coronaviruses, responsible for various diseases such as the common cold, gastroenteritis, and the infamous SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome). Originating in China back in 2002, SARS is a fatal disease that shook the world with its rapid spread and devastating consequences. These coronaviruses derive their name from their crown-like surface proteins or "corona" which they utilize to attach and infiltrate host cells. Once inside these cells, these microscopic particles cunningly exploit the cell's machinery to replicate themselves. This remarkable ability allows them to multiply rapidly within their host organism. Unfortunately, this also contributes to their pathogenic nature. The magnification level used for capturing this breathtaking image remains unknown but serves as a reminder of how science continues to unravel the mysteries hidden within our biological world. Such visual representations are invaluable tools for researchers studying virology and seeking ways to combat viral infections effectively. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing trio of virus particles suspended in time on this print by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of both the beauty and danger that exists at an unseen scale all around us.
