TEM of Giardia lamblia
Coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph of Giardia lamblia (orange), a parasitic flagellate protozoan which causes the disease lambliasis (giardiasis). Seen here attched by means of sucking discs to microvilli in the human small intestine. Microvilli are tiny fingers of tissue (pink), which project from the surface of the larger structures called villi. Microvilli are of uniform length giving the impression of a brush- border. Like villi, they increase the absorptivity of the intestines by increasing the surface area over which it occurs. Infestations by Giardia reduces absorption & may lead to diarrhoea. Magnification: x1200 at 35mm, x2500 at 6x7cm size. Microcosmos P.34 fig 2.37

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate world of Giardia lamblia, a parasitic flagellate protozoan responsible for causing the disease lambliasis, also known as giardiasis. The vibrant orange color highlights the distinct features of this microscopic organism, which can be seen attached to microvilli in the human small intestine by means of sucking discs. Microvilli, depicted here in pink, are tiny finger-like projections that extend from larger structures called villi. They play a crucial role in increasing the surface area of the intestines and enhancing absorptivity. However, infestations by Giardia disrupt this delicate balance and reduce absorption capabilities, often leading to diarrhea. With a magnification level of x1200 at 35mm and x2500 at 6x7cm size, this transmission electron micrograph provides an up-close look into the fascinating world of these intestinal parasites. It serves as a reminder of nature's complexity and showcases how even minute organisms can have significant impacts on our health. This image is part of Microcosmos P. 34 fig 2.37 collection from Science Photo Library - an invaluable resource for those interested in exploring various aspects related to nature, disease, animals (including wild life), zoology, humans (specifically their intestines), invertebrates like Giardia lamblia itself or other intestinal parasites such as worms etc. , micrographs taken using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) technique capturing detailed images at high magnifications revealing fine details about cellular structures including microvilli found within our bodies.
