EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a tongue infected with Candida sp. fungus, commonly known as thrush or candidiasis. The surface of the tongue is colored in vibrant yellow hues, representing the presence of this infectious yeast infection. At a magnification of x1000, this scanning electron micrograph (SEM) provides an up-close look at the biology and pathology behind this condition. The image reveals the abnormal growth and colonization of Candida sp. fungus on the epidermis of the tongue, highlighting its unhealthy and infectious nature. Through mycology, the study of fungi, medical professionals gain valuable insights into fungal infections like thrush that affect various parts of our body. This SEM photograph serves as a powerful tool for researchers to understand how these microscopic organisms interact with human cells and cause disorders within our oral cavity. The striking colors and intricate cellular structures captured by Steve Gschmeissner's lens bring attention to both the beauty and complexity found within our own bodies. It reminds us that even at such small scales, diseases can have significant impacts on our overall health. This remarkable image from Science Photo Library not only contributes to scientific knowledge but also serves as a visual reminder of why it is crucial to prioritize oral hygiene and seek appropriate medical treatment when faced with conditions like thrush or other fungal infections.
