H1N1 Influenza A virus particles, TEM
H1N1 Influenza A virus particles, coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). This influenza virus can infect multiple species and is the most virulent human pathogen of the three influenza types (A, B and C). The virus consists of ribonucleic acid (RNA), surrounded by a nucleocapsid (pink) and a lipid envelope (red). In the envelope are two types of protein spike, haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N), which determine the strain of virus. Magnification: x142, 900 when printed at 10 centimetres tall

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the H1N1 Influenza A virus particles in all their intricate glory. Taken using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this coloured micrograph reveals the true nature of this notorious influenza virus. Known for its ability to infect multiple species, H1N1 is considered the most virulent human pathogen among the three types of influenza viruses. The image highlights various components of the virus, starting with its genetic material - ribonucleic acid (RNA). Surrounding the RNA is a nucleocapsid, depicted here in a striking pink hue. The outermost layer consists of a lipid envelope that appears vibrant red under false colouration. Within this envelope lie two distinct protein spikes: haemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N). These spikes play a crucial role in determining the strain of the virus. With an impressive magnification power of x142,900 when printed at 10 centimetres tall, every minute detail is brought to life. This mesmerizing image serves as a reminder of both the beauty and danger present within our microscopic world. It represents years of scientific research and provides valuable insights into virology and infectious diseases like influenza. As we delve deeper into understanding these pathogens, we equip ourselves with knowledge to combat them effectively and protect public health worldwide.
