Cell infected with HIV, SEM C014 / 0581
Cell infected with HIV. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of HIV particles (round) budding from the membrane of a host cell. HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) attacks CD4+ T-lymphocytes (specialised white blood cells), which are crucial in the bodys immune system. It enters the cell and makes many copies of itself, which then destroy the cell as they emerge through its membrane. This severely weakens the immune system, causing AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). Magnification: x80, 000 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cell infected with HIV" offers a vivid glimpse into the microscopic world of viruses and their devastating impact on the human body. Captured using a scanning electron microscope, this coloured image showcases the intricate details of an HIV-infected cell. The round HIV particles can be seen budding from the host cell's membrane, illustrating how this insidious virus reproduces and spreads throughout the body. By attacking CD4+ T-lymphocytes, crucial white blood cells responsible for maintaining our immune system's integrity, HIV weakens our defenses against infections and diseases. As more copies of itself are made within the cell, they eventually destroy it upon emerging through its membrane. This destructive process severely compromises the immune system's functionality, leading to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). With a magnification level of x80,000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, Thomas Deerinck's photograph highlights both the beauty and danger present in such microscopic realms. It serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing battle against HIV/AIDS and underscores the importance of continued research in virology and immunology.
