SARS virus particles, TEM
SARS virus particles. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of two SARS virus particles (green). Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a fatal lung disease that first appeared in China in 2002. The SARS virus is a coronavirus. The coronaviruses take their name from their crown (corona) of surface proteins, which are used to attach to and penetrate their host cells. Once inside a cell, the virus particles use the cell machinery to make more copies of themselves. Magnification: x176, 000 when printed 10cm high

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the SARS virus particles in all their intricate glory. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), two SARS virus particles can be seen, depicted in a striking shade of green. Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) emerged as a devastating lung disease that originated in China back in 2002. Belonging to the coronavirus family, these viruses derive their name from the crown-like surface proteins that adorn them. These proteins play a crucial role in attaching to and infiltrating host cells. Once inside, the virus manipulates the cell's machinery to replicate itself exponentially. With an impressive magnification of x176,000 when printed at just 10cm high, this image offers us an up-close look into the world of these deadly pathogens. It serves as a reminder of both the biological complexity and destructive potential inherent within such microscopic entities. This mesmerizing visual is not only significant for its scientific value but also for its contribution to medical research and understanding viral pathogenesis. As we delve deeper into microbiology and virology, images like this aid researchers worldwide in unraveling mysteries surrounding diseases like SARS and developing effective countermeasures against them. Captured by Science Photo Library using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this false-coloured representation beautifully encapsulates both the beauty and danger present within our biological landscape.
