Paramyxovirus particle, TEM
Paramyxovirus. Transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a paramyxovirus particle. The internal structure of the virus has been revealed, including the helical structures (white) of the ribonucleic acid (RNA). The virus particle is a core of RNA surrounded by a lipid envelope (outer layer). Several members of the paramyxovirus group are disease-causing (pathogenic) viruses. These include the mumps virus, the measles virus (rubeola) and the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which causes respiratory infections

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a Paramyxovirus particle as seen through a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The image unveils the internal structure of this pathogenic virus, revealing helical structures composed of ribonucleic acid (RNA) in striking white. Encased within a lipid envelope, this core of RNA represents the essence of the virus. Paramyxoviruses encompass various disease-causing agents that have plagued humanity throughout history. Among them are notorious viruses such as mumps, measles (rubeola), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is responsible for causing respiratory infections. This photograph allows us to appreciate the complexity and fragility of these tiny biological entities that can wreak havoc on our health. The mono chrome presentation adds an artistic touch to this scientific marvel, emphasizing its aesthetic appeal while reminding us that even in their microscopic form, viruses possess immense power to disrupt our lives. As we delve into virology and explore the hidden world of pathogens through advanced imaging techniques like TEM, we gain valuable insights into their structure and behavior. Science Photo Library's dedication to capturing these extraordinary moments not only serves as a visual feast for biology enthusiasts but also contributes significantly to medical research by providing scientists with invaluable resources for studying viral diseases.
