Urine infection. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM), showing epithelial cells (centre) and red blood cells (red) present in a urine sample taken from someone with a urinary tract infection (UTI). In urinary tract conditions such as infections, inflammation and malignancies, more epithelial cells are present. A bladder infection may result in large numbers of transitional epithelial cells in urine sediment, as seen here. Magnification: x5000 when printed to centimetres wide.

RFPR1RM6–Staphylococcus aureus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. These Gram-positive bacteria cause skin infections and often grow in these grape-like clusters of small spheres (cocci). S. aureus is extremely common in humans, living harmlessly on the skin and inside the nose, throat and large intestine. Treatment is with antibiotics if the infection is serious. Variants of S. aureus (MRSA) have developed resistance to many antibiotics. Magnification: x6000 when printed at 10 centimetres wide.

RFPR1RK0–Dendritic cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a protective cell of the human immune system known as a dendritic cell. The long projections seen on the cell's surface are 'feet' to help it move. These cells process foreign antigens which then act like an alarm signal, alerting other immune cells of the body to the infection. Dendritic cells found in the upper layer of the skin (the epidermis) are known as histiocytes or Langerhans cells. In the central nervous system they are known as microglia, and in the liver as Kupffer cells. Magnification: x3000 when printed at 10cm wide.

RFPR1RM7–HIV infected cell. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a 293T cell infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, red dots). Small spherical virus particles, visible on the surface, are in the process of budding from the cell membrane. Any non highlighted vesicles of uneven shape are exosomes, thought to be involved in cell communication and transmission of disease, and under investigation as a means of drug delivery.
