Description

Scanning electron micrograph of Listeria Bacteria. Listeria cause listeriosis, a serious infection in humans induced by eating food contaminated with the bacteria. This image was collected as part of an analysis of qualitative and quantitative changes in a sample containing bacteria,

Technical Details

Image collected using a Quanta 200 3D from the FEI Quanta DualBeam Family. The magnification is 15,000x, the Vacuum was 2,03E-3 Pa, and the voltage was 5 kV, An ETD Spot detector with a 2,5 nA at a working distance of 10 mm was used to collect the data.
