Vaccinia virus particles, SEM
Vaccinia virus particles. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of vaccinia virus particles (red) budding from a cell (blue and green) after replicating. Unlike most viruses, vaccinia replicates in the cells cytoplasm, rather than the nucleus. Vaccinia belongs to the orthopoxvirus group. It causes cowpox, a disease of cattle and humans that produces skin lesions. It was first used by Jenner in 1796 to vaccinate against smallpox, a related but more deadly human disease. Magnification: x5000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of vaccinia virus particles under a scanning electron microscope. The vibrant colors highlight the various stages of replication, with the red vaccinia virus particles budding from a cell depicted in blue and green hues. Unlike most viruses, which replicate within the nucleus, this particular virus replicates within the cytoplasm of cells. Belonging to the orthopoxvirus group, vaccinia is responsible for causing cowpox—a disease that affects both cattle and humans and manifests as skin lesions. Interestingly, it was first utilized by Jenner in 1796 as a means to immunize against smallpox—an even more deadly human disease closely related to vaccinia. The magnified image reveals multiple instances of viral release and replication taking place simultaneously. This microscopic view provides valuable insights into virology and microbiology, shedding light on pathogenic processes at play within our bodies. With its false-colored presentation, this SEM image offers an artistic perspective on these minuscule organisms that can have significant impacts on our health. It serves as a reminder of how scientific advancements have allowed us to understand and combat diseases through vaccines like those developed using vaccinia. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with a magnification level of x5000, this print from Science Photo Library captures the beauty hidden within microorganisms while offering invaluable knowledge for medical research and biological studies.
