Tongue bacteria, TEM
Tongue bacteria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of bacteria (round) on the surface of a pigs tongue. Large numbers of bacteria can form a visible layer on the surface of the tongue. The mouth contains a large number of bacteria, most of which are harmless or even beneficial. However, some bacteria can cause infections or lead to tooth decay. Magnification: x6400 when printed at 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate world of tongue bacteria. In this coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we are granted a glimpse into the surface of a pig's tongue, where countless round bacteria thrive. It is fascinating to witness how these microorganisms can amass in such large numbers, forming a visible layer on the tongue. The mouth is known to harbor an abundance of bacteria, most of which are harmless or even beneficial to our overall health. However, it is important to note that certain strains can cause infections or contribute to tooth decay. This image serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between microbial communities and our well-being. At a magnification level of x6400 when printed at 10 centimetres wide, every detail becomes vividly apparent under the microscope lens. The false-coloured display enhances our understanding of these tiny organisms' structure and behavior. Through this photograph, we delve into the realm of microbiology and bacteriology while exploring nature's intricacies. It invites us to appreciate the complexity and diversity found within even seemingly mundane aspects like tongues in animals. This remarkable image from Science Photo Library offers valuable insights into oral health and showcases how science continues to unravel hidden worlds that exist right beneath our noses – quite literally!
