E. coli bacteria colony, light micrograph
Escherichia coli bacteria colonies growing on a nutrient substrate, differential interference contrast light micrograph. E. coli bacteria are a normal part of the intestinal flora in humans and other animals, where they aid digestion. However, some strains can produce a toxin that leads to severe illness, or even death. Normal strains can also produce infections in those with weakened immune systems. Additional illumination for this micrograph was provided with an incandescent spot light. Magnification: x50 when printed at 10 centimetres across

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up view of E. coli bacteria colonies, captured using a differential interference contrast light microscope. The image reveals the intricate details of these bacterial colonies thriving on a nutrient substrate in a petri dish. Escherichia coli bacteria are commonly found in the intestinal flora of humans and animals, playing an essential role in digestion. However, certain strains can be harmful, producing toxins that cause severe illness or even death. Even normal strains can pose risks to individuals with weakened immune systems by causing infections. To enhance the visibility of this micrograph, additional illumination was provided through an incandescent spot light source. At a magnification level of x50 when printed at 10 centimeters across, this photograph offers viewers an up-close look into the world of microbiology. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns displayed within this image highlight both the beauty and complexity of bacterial life. It serves as a reminder that while many bacteria play crucial roles in our bodies and ecosystems, some can also have detrimental effects on human health. This remarkable print is brought to you by Science Photo Library – your trusted source for high-quality scientific imagery capturing various aspects of biology, bacteriology, pathology, histopathology, and more.
