Metal Print : AIDS virus particle, TEM
Metal Prints From Science Photo Library
AIDS virus particle, TEM
AIDS virus particle. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of a section through an AIDS virus particle leaving a host cell (green, lower frame). A virus capsule (yellow) is covered by membrane (black) taken from the host cell. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). The virus infects T-4 white blood cells, making them produce more virus particles. These erupt from the cell and infect other cells. The process kills the white blood cells. As T-4 cells are important in the immune system, the immune response is severely damaged in AIDS. This makes patients vulnerable to normally harmless diseases. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate structure of an AIDS virus particle, providing a visual insight into the devastating disease caused by HIV. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we witness a section through an AIDS virus particle as it exits a host cell in vibrant green hues. The yellow virus capsule is enveloped by a black membrane derived from the host cell, illustrating how HIV infects T-4 white blood cells and compels them to produce more virus particles. These newly formed particles then burst forth from the infected cell, perpetuating the cycle of infection and ultimately leading to the destruction of vital white blood cells. AIDS, or acquired immune deficiency syndrome, severely impairs the immune system by targeting T-4 cells which play a crucial role in our body's defense mechanism. Consequently, patients with AIDS become highly susceptible to typically harmless diseases that would otherwise be easily fought off. With its magnification unknown yet capturing every minute detail with precision, this image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and destructive power possessed by pathogenic microorganisms. It highlights not only their ability to invade our bodies but also emphasizes the importance of ongoing research and efforts towards finding effective treatments for this global health crisis.
