TEM Hepatitis B virus particles
False-colour transmission electron micrograph of Hepatitis B virus particles - the small pink spheres & tubules. The virus causes serum hepatitis, an acute inflammation of the liver. The virus appears in 3 structural forms: spheres 20 nanometres (nm) in diameter, tubules of similar diameter but variable length, & Dane particle spheres 40nm in diameter. Serum hepatitis is transmitted by infected blood. Symptoms develop after an incubation period of 1-6 months & include: headaches, fever, & jaundice. Diagnosis is confirmed by presence of Australia antigen in blood. Magnification: x29, 400 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the TEM Hepatitis B virus particles in stunning detail. The false-color transmission electron micrograph reveals small pink spheres and tubules, representing the structural forms of this notorious virus. Hepatitis B is responsible for serum hepatitis, an acute inflammation of the liver that can have severe consequences. The image highlights three distinct structures: 20-nanometer diameter spheres, tubules with similar dimensions but varying lengths, and larger 40-nanometer diameter Dane particle spheres. These intricate formations contribute to the complexity of the virus's behavior within infected individuals. Serum hepatitis spreads through infected blood, making it a significant concern worldwide. After an incubation period lasting between one to six months, symptoms begin to manifest. Sufferers may experience headaches, fever, and jaundice as their immune system battles against this insidious invader. Diagnosing hepatitis B involves confirming the presence of Australia antigen in a patient's blood sample—a crucial step in identifying this viral infection accurately. With a magnification level of x29,400 at a 35mm size frame, this photograph offers scientists and researchers invaluable insights into virology and microbiology fields. It serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger that exist on microscopic scales while emphasizing our ongoing efforts to combat infectious diseases like hepatitis B.
