EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of smallpox virus particles, providing a glimpse into the world of microbiology and virology. Taken using a transmission electron microscope (TEM), this coloured transmission electron micrograph reveals a section through a tissue sample that is heavily infected with numerous Variola virus particles. The brown-hued virions, which are the causative agents of smallpox, dominate the image and highlight their pathogenic nature. The TEM technique allows for an incredibly detailed view of these viral particles, enabling scientists to study their morphology and better understand their mechanisms of infection. As we delve into this microscopic realm, it becomes evident how crucial such research is in medicine. By studying pathogens like Variola viruses at such close range, medical professionals gain valuable insights that aid in developing effective treatments and preventive measures against diseases caused by similar microorganisms. This photograph not only serves as a testament to the power of scientific imaging but also reminds us of our ongoing battle against infectious diseases. It stands as a visual reminder that despite its eradication from human populations in 1980, smallpox remains an important subject for study due to its historical significance and potential bioterrorism threats. AMI IMAGES/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has captured an awe-inspiring moment frozen in time—a snapshot revealing both beauty and danger within the unseen world that surrounds us all.
